The Cultural Alliance
F4M Soon^
<ul^!i«v
£-p>^
Many people have heard of the
Cultural Alliance at Delaware Valley
College but do not know what it is.
It is a unique organization with sep-
arate College funding, organized by
the following people: Mr. Edward
Gavin, Miss Karen Orbaker, Mr.
Robert McClelland, Mr. Stan Sitarski
and Mrs. Elaine Smith. It's purpose
is two-fold. First, the Alliance wants
to develop an awareness of art and
culture on our campus. Second, it
hopes to make the outside comm-
unity aware of the College and to
look to the College for entertainment
as well as intellectual stimulation.
The Alliance hopes to help the
College become an integral part of
the community.
The Alliance is using the library as its
center. Its activities efficially opened
on January 27th with an art exhibit
accompanied by refreshments and a
jazz band. Each week the Alliance
will organize a new exhibit utilizing
the talent of both D.V.C. students
and professionals. Each exhibit will
open with a free coffee hour every
Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. Future
plans include free concerts and shows
in the library following the coffee
hours. The Ailiatice will also sponsor
free lectures on a wide variety of
topics. All student, faculty and
administration members who share
an interest in cultural affairs are
encouraged to join. Above all, The
Cultural Alliance looks forward to
the interest and support of the stud-
ents to succeed

weeks of f'ebruary in the Library Exhibit Area. Special thanks to the

Delaware Valley Exhibits,
at Philadelphia Flower Show
The Philadelphia Horticultural Soc-
iety's Flower and Garden Show is
fast approaching. The Show opens in
the Civic Center in Philadelphia on
March 5 and continues through
March 12. Hours are 10 A.M. -
9:30 P.M. weekdays and Saturday,
10 A.M.- 6 P.M. on Sunday.
The College's entry in the Educa-
tional Exhibit competition this year
is titled "a flower is. . . " The display
features an exploration of the nature
of flowers: the different forms of
flowers, their color, their scent, how
to propagate flowers, and the en-
vironmental and chemical factors
that control flower development. A
committee of students is working
diliently with Dr. Mertz, Mr. Cowhig
and Mr. McClelland to make this
year's effort even better than last
year's first-place exhibit.
Advance-sale adult tickets to the
Flower Show are available from the
receptionist Mrs. Martin, Lasker Hall
first floor, at $2.75 each (as com-
pared to $3.50 at the door). Why not
plan to spend an evening at The
Flower Show and enjoy a preview of
Spring?
"Comedy Dance Theatre
featured on campus"
On March 3, at 8:00 P.M., the
Cultural Alliance will sponsor an
evening with The Bowlin and Fisk-
Comedy Dance Theatre. Performing
in Mandell 114, Bowlin and Fisk will
take a humorous approach toward
what is usually done quite seriously:
ballet. We expect a very enjoyable
evening. Looking ahead to April,
The Cultural Alliance has already
arranged for three events on April 7,
14 and 21. The Pro Musica Brass
Quintet, Pantomimist Vince Lom-
bardo and a guitar and flute duo will
be appearing on our campus for the
first time.
The Alliance is still formulating plans
for other cultural events this semester
and will advertise accordingly.

Now that your attention has been
obtaiined, it is necessary to explain
the new COLLEGIAN.
It was felt that after the RAM'S last
death it was time to try something
new, the COLLEGIAN. The new
form is a weekly news sheet put out
by the students, for the students.
The paper is open to all who want to
help, and or contribute. Deadline for
all material is Monday at 5:00 p.m.
All articles must, be turned in to the
Post Mistress no later than this time
if they are to be included in that
Friday's issue. Cartoons, club news,
articles, letters to the editor, and all
other materials submitted will be re-
viewed and printed if possible. All
materials submitted should have the
author's name and campus address on
them; this is for your benefit as well
as the COLLEGIAN'S. As always, if
you do not wish to have your name
appear on an article, just say so and it
will be withheld.
Advertising will be on a first-come,
first-served basis, and will appear
only when the space permits. If
enough articles are submitted to fill
the paper, then no ads will appear in
that issue.
The staff is hoping for a successful
paper, but success also depends on
you, we need your contributions
and your readership.

Think Green
By Steve Silberstein
Growers of indoor plants often are
uncertain as to what type of artifical
lighting to use. The main require-
ment is that it supply light from the
far red, red, and blue sections of the
spectrum. There are several brands of
fluorescent lights manufactured spec-
ifically for use with indoor plants.
"Naturescent" and "Gro Lux" are
two such brands.
Although these are fine, the use of a
combination of one cool white fluor-
escent tube and one warm white tube
freak injury. "He fell on ?op of a
knee" Marshall said. "It braised his
heart. They had to treat it like a
heart attack." Campbell will be able
to resume his wrestling career next
year.
The Aggies had excellent permorm-
ances from freshman Warren Robert-
son ((11-2) seven pins), sophomore
Stan McGlynn (10-2-1), junior Art
Shull (8-3) and frehsman heavy-
weight Jeff Bartholomew (5 pins).
in each fixture is less expensive and
just as good. There are incandescent
bulbs made for use with indoor
plants, but they are not nearly as
good as the fluorescent tubes. They
also produce more heat than fluor-
escent tubes.
No matter what brand of fluorescent
lights you use, plants requiring low
and moderate light levels should be
grown so that the tops of the plants
are five to eight inches away from
the tubes while plants requiring high
light intensity should be grown with
the tops two to five inches away. The
tubes should occasionally be cleaned
with a damp rag to remove any accu-
mulated dust, which can reduce light
output considerably.
Not only at Del Val, but
Medford, Mass. (I.P.) - The over-en-
rollment at Tufts University last fall
reflected a national increase in appli-
cations to private colleges and univer-
sites of five percent and more. (This
trend contradicted earlier predictions
that such schools would suffer losses
due to the mounting costs of higher
education and chagning goals of
college-age youths.)
Michael C. Behnke, dean of under-
graduate admissions at Tufts, reports
that the sudden increase in appli-
cations was regarded with suspicion
by admissions officers at Tufts and
other private colleges because their
information from high school guid-
ance counselors was that the increase
did not reflect an increase in the
applicants, merely an increase in the
number of applications each pros-
pective student was submitting.
Early reports from high school
sources, Behnke said, also indicated
that many students were being
accepted by most of the colleges they
had applied to. "It now appears that
there were more applicants in the
pool, and consequently almost every
college is either full or over." (Many
colleges and universities in the
Boston area had over-enrollments
similar to Tufts'.)
According to Behnke, the overall in-
crease in applications to private
schools could be attributed to an end
to the anti-careerism of the 1960s.
Today's students, Behnke said, are
more interested in careers and con-
sider private colleges the best pre-
paration. He also said urban univer-
sities still seem to be favorites among
entering students.

FOUNDERS DAY
CONVOCATION
SET FOR MARCH 16TH
The Delaware Valley College
Founders' Day Convocation will be
held on Thursday, March 16th at
3:30 P.M. in the Rudley-Neumann
Gymnasium.
The Annual Founders' Day Program
will be presided by Larry A. Middle-
ton '64, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees.
The Founders' Day Address will be
presented by Mrs. Madeleine Kraus-
kopf Hillman, daughter of the first
founder.
The program will honor Dr. Joseph
Krauskopf, founder of the National
Farm School and Dr. James Work,
founder of the College.
A highlight of this year's Founders'
Day Program will be "The History of
the College Exhibit" which will be
assembled in the Lobby of the )ames
Work Gymnasium for Thursday's
Ceremony. The exhibit features
memorabilia of Dr. James Work's
varied career as well as artifacts and
photographs of the College's transit-
ion from Krauskopf's visit with
Tolstoy in 1894 to the College's
current status.
OPTIONAL LINEN SERVICE
ANNOUNCED
Beginning with the 1978-79 academic
year, the linen service which is pro-
vided by the College will no longer be
mandatory. All resident students
are now required to sign up for the
service which entitles them to an ex-
change of linens on a weekly basis.
The cost of the service this year was
$32.00 and it was included on the
invoice sent by the College to all res-
ident students.
Next year this fee will not be in-
cluded in the charges for resident
students. Mary Macintosh, the
College Linen supplier, will send
student contracts and a letter ex-
plaining the new system to all resid-
ents this summer. Payments for the
service will be made directly to Mary
Macintosh.
Unfortunately, since the linen service
will be optional and the volume will
be somewhat decreased, the cost of
the service will be slightly increased.
The new charge will be $37.00 for a
full year or $20.00 for one semester.
The Office of the Dean of Students
recommends that students subscribe
to the linen service. In addition to
being very convenient, it is still a
relatively inexpensive service for the
entire academic year.
Memorabilia or maybe Just history,
which ever, it's Delaware Valley
College as it was. From the past to
the present was on display in the
library for the past week.

WINTER WEEKEND WAS
A WINNER
It was a dance; it was a casino night,
it was for fun, it was the Friends of
Football Winter Weekend 78.
The weekend started on Friday night,
but this was no ordinary Friday as a
dance frolicked in the dining hall.
The dance featured Whale and every-
one danced up a storm.
Even though the dance was on Fri-
day, the big event was Saturday night
when the gymnasium was turned into
Las Vegas II. Card sharks and Rat
Racers alike turned out for this event.
Equipment was rented to make this
as real as possible and the only thing
out of place was the play money.
The game most played was the Rat
Race. It was an interesting last heat
that pitted Coach Marshall* against
Or. Brubaker^ (*rats names). Coming
up in first place was Coach Marshall.
Dr. Brubaker* lost (and they were his
rats). Also Dr. Brubaker was the only
person bitten by a rat all night).
At the end of the evening an auction
was held. Articles were for sale and
the top selling prize was a television
set going for $80,000.00. Another
article, an old football warm up,
went for $35,000.00.
It was as Coach Wilson said "a week-
end to have a good time." The first
in what he hopes to be an annual
affair.

FACULTY "B" TEAM
TAKES TOP SPOT
The (U.P.S.) and the (AAP) Intra-
mural Basketball Poll was released
today with some rather startling re-
sults.
Perennial basement dwellers Faculty
"B" team of the open Intramural
Basketball league with an incredible
won loss record of (1-7) received all
of 1st place votes in both polls. In-
tramural Commissioner Frank Wolf-
gang In commenting on the poll
results explained it this way: "The
"B" Team, although not winning that
often has been in every game; is
always competitive; and several of
the games were even close."
Two Cliffhangers that Wolfgang cited
included a close encounter of the 3rd
kind against the Koneheds which saw
the "B" Team lose by only 40 points.
The other memorable game was on
March 2nd vs. the Flunkers when the
B's kept the game close with a half
time deficit of 32-4. The second half
of the game saw the B's turn things
around when they hit double figures
and lost the game in the last seconds
57-27.

KRAUSKOPF, WORK
REMEMBERED DURING
FOUNDERS' DAY
The Delaware Valley College
Founders' Day Convocation was
held on Thursday, March 16th,
1978 at 3:30 P.M. in the
Rudley-Neumann Gymnasium.
The Founders' Day Address was
presented by Mrs. Madeleine
Krauskopf Hillman, daugher of
the first founder. Dr. Joseph
Krauskopf.
In her address Mrs. Hillman re-
ferred to her father's efforts in
founding the school when she
said, "The National Farm School
was my father's dream, his
pride and joy and he founded it
after careful and soul searching
deliberations and after a visit
with the famous Russian author,
Count Leo Tolstoy.
She made note that throughout
the history of the College, two
individuals were almost entirely
responsible for the leadership,
development and progress of the
College. She stated that "Dr.
Work was truly the founder of
the College in 1946 as my father
was the founder of the National
Farm School fifty years earlier
in 1896.
Mrs. Hillman expanded on the
accomplishments of Dr. Work
and offered personal recollect-
ions of the College's founder
when she recalled "Many of you
may remember Dr. Work as a
stern administrator. I and many
of his close friends remember
him as an extremely compass-
ionate and sensitive person. He
was shy and somewhat reserved
with an exceptional keen mind
and a wonderful sense of humor.
The twinkle in his eyes and his
warm smile will always be re-
membered by those who were
fortunate enough to know him.
Dr. Work liked to tease and also
to promote serious discussions.
He was extremely zealous and
thrifty when it came to the
operation of the College. He was
however, exceptionally kind and
helpful. He personally helped,
with his own finances, many
students to pursue a college
education. Dr. Work loved the
students and was always con-
cerned with their welfare. The
older alumni may remember him
best, for they knew him best."
Following her review of the
history of the College, Mrs. Hill-
man brought the audience to the
present and looked toward the
future referring to today's
leadership under the direction of
Dr. Feldstein, President, and
Mrs. James Work, Vice-President
of the College.
Mrs. Hillman concluded her pre-
sentation with a quote from Dr.
Feldstein 's inaugural address^.
Mrs. Madeleine Krauskopf Hillman addresses Founders Day

STUDENT
GOVT NEWS
Steve McKrancy, President of
Student Government reported to
the Board of Trustees on Thurs-
day, March 16th.
On March 16, 1978, I attended
the Board of Trustees Meeting
which was held in the Shapiro
Wing of the Library. The nneet-
ing went very well with much
promise for the future.
My report contained many of
our accomplishments since Sept-
ember in which they were very
impressed. I also reported and
explained the Student Govern-
ment Proposals to the Admin-
istration. The main proposal
which I talked about was the
proposal for a 21 -Club.
The Board listened very inten-
sely and seriously to the pro-
posal. I asked them to give great
thought and consideration to
this proposal between now and
the next Board Meeting which
will be held during the A-Day
weekend. At that meeting, I plan
to answer questions on any part
of the proposal and work out
problems that might arise. In my
eyes, we are going in the right
direction, and leaving signs for a
greater tomorrow.
As you know, my Presidency
will be over on April 1 7. Before
that time you must seek and
elect a new President of Student
Government. Serious thought by
everyone must be taken in order
to find the right person for the
job. Besides the President, you
must also elect the other officers
and members of Student
Government. If anyone is inter-
ested in running for a position
on Student Government, please
contact the Dean of Students
Office for deadlines and pet-
itions, and qualification for the
various positions. Petitions for
Student Government Officers
must be in by Friday, March 31,
1978.
RA TRAINING

26 hour event.
Many students were seen walking
"very slowly and with caution"
on Monday morning as they re-
cuperated from their ordeal.

A Senior
Writes
An open letter to Delaware
Valley College.
In a few weeks I will be one of
the many -seniors graduating
from D.V.C. I woMid like to take
this opportunity to thank every-
one responsible for giving me
four fine years. I am grateful to
all the faculty and staff who
worked so hard in giving me the
best education possible. Each of
you went the extra mile if I
needed special help, or when I
had papers or projects to com-
plete, or just when I needed to
talk to someone. You all showed
genuine interest in me as a
student - not as some impersonal
number. You knew me, and I
knew you, and this made my
education that much more
meaningful. You were concerned
if I performed poorly; you were
pleased if I did well. You
listened patiently while I spoke
of my dreams and hopes, and
you helped guide me toward
them.
You were more than just
educators; you were my friends.
We talked after class, between
class and any other time we had
something to say. There were
times, I'm sure, when you would
really want to do something
else - but you spent time with
me if I needed it.
I, like many other students,
complained about things I didn't
like, but as I look back the good
far outweigh the bad. I realize
that you were acting in my best
interests - even if I didn't think
so at the time.
Well, I guess it is time to bid you
farewell. Good-bye D.V.C, I'll
miss you - you were a good
friend.

Silent Movies
"When Comedy was King" is a
common term used to refer to the
Silent Movie Era. Call it slapstick
or anything else, this was when
funny was funny. Since there was
no sound, the actors couldn't
depend on the dialogue to get
laughs. They had to do it with
their facial expressions, bodily
movements and situations. Each
had his own personal charact-
eristics that got laughs. Charlie
Chaplin had a distinctive walk
and dress. Buster Keaton was
noted for his acrobatics and a face
that never showed any emotion.
Todays television shows and
movies all owe their origin to the
initial success of the silent movies.
They were pioneers in a new field.
Many of them continued to be
popular in the talkies, such as
the Little Rascals and Laurel and
Hardy. Today, many of these
stars and their movies are consid-
ered "classics", a term denoting
distinction of excellence.
On April 5, DVC paid tribute to
the silent kings by presenting
Charlie Chaplin and Friends, a
night at the silent movies.
All the old time greats. Laurel and
Hardy, The Little Rascals, The
Keystone Cops, Harold Lloyd,
Buster Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle
and Charlie Chaplin were high-
lighted. Included among the
shorts was Chaplins famous classic
The Tramp and Cops where
Buster Keaton lead the Keystone
Cops on a wild chase.

Baseball Aggie Style
Senior Special Problems
The Delaware Valley College base-
ball team, hot from their Spring
Florida trip, didn't cool down
much Saturday versus Fairleigh
Dickinson. Zisk and Helmstetter's
bats were sizzling. John hit two
shots and Dennis added a home-
run and a triple. The Aggies
scored 24 riins and completely
outclassed the Devils from
Madison.
Although tfie Aggies are young,
(only Helmstetter and Butler are
seniors) the team is fairly exper-
ienced. Bob Reapsome holds
down first base and he is hopeful
his hitting improves this season.
Steve Cash, a Floridian second
baseman, starts and should add
some quickness to the Aggie
attack. Butler and Sophomore
third baseman Mark Skelding hold
down the right side of the infield.
Zisk, freshmen Phil Boob and
John Stark round out the outfield
All three have good speed and
should combine for an average of
over three hundred. Dennis Helm-
stetter adds a wealth of exper-
ience behind the plate and should
hit in the high three hundreds.
Other players who will add depth
to the Aggies squad are J im Dun-
bar, Greg Lacava, John Lewis and
George Richdale.
Although the mound staff is
young, many of the freshmen
entered school with impressive
credentials. Jim Gordon, Ed
Vrbanic, Jeff Thiebault and Steve
Wyrenski are all freshmen who
will all get game experience with
the eleven double-headers on the
schedule. John Zisk, Steve
Fornoff and John Lund add upper
class experience to the staff.
Third year coach John Hardy
expects the Aggies to be an ex-
citing baseball team this year.
Within the fairly short confines
of Aggie Field the bats should
smoke with power hitters like
Zisk, Helmstetter and Butler.
Come see your Aggie Squad play
an exciting brand of baseball on
your way to and from class.
Cheer these guys on and lets bring
an MAC Championship to Dela-
ware Valley!
25Yearsof Rock & Roll
PHILADELPHIA - For the frrst
time in radio history, a broadcast
that relives the entire 25-year
impact of rock & roll on
American music has been created.
Three years in the making, the 52-
hour epic will be aired on WIP,
610, the weekends of April 7-9
and 14-16. In nearly 2,000 ex-
cerpts from more than 500 inter-
views, thcSySpfies*" Hi story of Rock
& Roll" will trace the greatest
artists and their music all the way
from 1952 to this day. Virtually
every major contributor to this
saga of American music will be
featured.
"No rock & roll special in the past
could match this one in scope,
intensity, or drama, "says Bruce
Holberg, WIP's program director.
"This is the radio event of our
time."
The series' first hour, beginning at
6 p.m. on April 7, will bring
back early pioneers such as Chuck
Berry, Fats Domino and Little
Richard. The second hour will
celebrate the birth of country
rock, with Bill Haley, Jerry Lee
Lewis and the legendary Elvis
Presley, who will continue for the
next two hours.
The Beatles, Bobby Darin, The
Four Seasons, The Beach Boys
and all the other big names of
rock & Roll in all its forms will
be heard as the spectacular goes
on.
In celebration of the broadcast,
WIP will be conducting on-the-
air trivia contests, awarding prizes,
offering souvenir booklets and
posters, and hosting a number of
special events to be announced
as they are developed.
Student Role in Education
There are two ways to get an
education in the U.S. today,
which can be compared to ihe
differences between sailing and
motorboating. A sailor is re-
quired to put skill and effort
against the wind, and often has
to force his way into the wind in
order to reach his goal. The
skipper of a power vessel, how-
ever, is able to speed directly
towards his goal on his own
terms. So too, students at some
institutions are masters of their
own fate, actively taking part in
the direction of the education
which costs them so much.
Other students seem to get their
education in spite of the best
efforts of administration and
faculty. Even when the
education is of the desired
quality, the undergrad is forced
to trust that the situation will
not change during his college
career; he has no acceptable
recourse to guarantee his sat-
isfaction.
xis
One of the important tools the
first student has in his quest
for truly "higher" education is
the opportunity to influence the
quality of his educators. While
an educator may be very able in
his field, this is not an indication
of the ability to pass this know-
ledge along, or of the ability to
maintain a satisfactory personal
relationship with the student.
Yet this assumption forms the
major foundation of most colle-
giate hiring practices.
The importance of faculty eval-
uation by both colleagues and
the administration can't be over-
looked; however, there is little
point in marketing what the con-
sumer doesn't want to buy. Most
businesses would not go far
without surveys to determine
what products have consumer
acceptability. The student is the
purchaser of a product which
represents a huge economic in-
vestment and should be entitled
to produce meaningful and
effective feedback to the same
extent that the buyer of any
other product is entitled.
The Faculty Research Comm-
ittee is urging the incoming
seniors, and particularly those
interested in graduate studies to
avail themselves of the Senior
Special Problems program. In-
formation regarding the program
can be obtained from Dr. Berth-
old for students enrolled in the
Biology or Chemistry Depart-
ments., Dr. Brubaker for the
Animal or Plant Science, from
the Chairman of the Research
Committee, or from their
Department Chairman.
PROCEDURES FOR SENIOR
SPECIAL PROBLEMS
1. Students in Senior Special
Problems should have a
minimum cumulative aca-
demic average of 2.5 before
registration for Special Pro-
blems. This figure (2.5) may
be subject to revision for a
specific department on the
approval of the department
and division chairmen in
New Sound
Have you heard Wapo this
semester? It's 640 on your AM
dial.
WAPO has added some new
equipment to make the broad-
cast better. For your' added
listening pleasure a AM-FM
tuner, can stimuicast another
station over WAPO when (they
aren't operating) the station in
2nd floor Segal Hall is not being
operated. Other equipment in
use is a distribution amplifier
and another transmitter.
The staff and members of WAPO
want to thank Mr. Tasker for
his assistance in acquiring the
funds needed to get the equip-
ment.
According to many sources,
educators themselves are calling
for a greater degree of account-
ability from the elementary level
up. The validity of student
evaluations, which have been
shown to be highly reliable and
repeatable, is unquestionable.
Why do so many faculty
members fear the connection of
student evaluations with
promotional consideration?
Without a well-grounded evalua-
tion system, the judgment,
which will be made in any case,
must be based on rumors, com-
plaints and casual observation.
Without any other criteria, en-
rollments must be based on a
reputation derived from unrel-
iable commentary circulating
through the grapevine.
consultation with the
Chairman of the Research
Committee.

maximum of three credits

with the approval of their

pleted during the Fall or

Your help is desired to help with
programing. If you have a
faculty member you want inter-
viewed or another special pro-
gram you want to hear, contact
a WAPO member. One example
of special programing is the
broadcast of chemistry help
sessions before exams. There is a
need for more Dj's, and meet-
ings are held the 3rd Wednesday
of every month.
WAPO is trying to build up its
record collection; therefore, if
you have a request, dial 235 on
the intracampus telephone line.
The evidence indicates that the
student must be the single most
important factor in the examin-
ation of faculty effectiveness.
Only the student has the back-
ground of constant exposure for
extended periods to the inst-
ructor's methods. In conclusion
it can be seen that the student
has the ability, information and
the need to evaluate his inst-
ructors and at the same time the
instructor has the need to be
evaluated for both pragmatic
reasons, and aesthetic reasons
associated with pride in a job
well done.

FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1978
"Ralph" triumphantly returns to Delaware Valley for another spectacular dance/concert on Friday, April 14th. The big event is
scheduled to begin at 9:00 P.M. and continue to 1 :00 A.M. in the Rudley-Neumann Gymnasium. Admission will be $.50 for the Class
of 79 members, $ 1 .00 for D.V.C. students and $2.00 for others.
"Ralph" appeared at last year's A-Day dance to a crowd of at least 500, one of the best attended mixers of the year.
The band consists of ten skilled musicians with one super sound. They are vibrant, multi-talented and an absolutely incredible group of
performers who know their music and know how to please their audience. They bridge the gap between classical and contemporary in
stride and still leave their audience totally satisfied. The group finished its rock performance with an unforgettable version of Tchaikov-
sky's "1812 Overture."
Anyone who was fortunate enough to witness "Ralph" last year knows they are simply fantastic; it was just about the social event of
the year on campus! This year, find out for yourself!!
Financial Aid
Forms
Due
Any student who has applied for
or intends to apply for financial
aid consideration for the 1978-
79 academic year MUST have
the Financial Aid Form (FAF)
AND a copy of the 1977 income
tax statement into the Student
Financial Aid Office on or
before May 18th. You will place
your eligibility in serious jeop-
ardy unless these forms are re-
ceived.
There is a scholarship (LOEB
Foundation) available for stud-
ents with the following qualif-
ications: of Jewish descent, in
need of financial assistance and
studying in the field of Agricult-
ure. Students may contact Mr.
Sauer for further information.
Graduation
Meeting
Set
On Monday, April 24, 1978 at
3:00 p.m. a meeting of all grad-
uating seniors will be held in the
James -Work Gymnasium. The
meeting will be conducted by
Mr. Tasker and attendance is
mandatory for all seniors who
will be participating in Comm-
encement Exercises.
Graduation packets, which in-
clude such items as check-out
forms, graduation announce-
ments and invitations, placement
materials, etc. will be distributed
during this time period. The de-
tails of rehearsal and graduation
will be discussed, so it is import -
ant that all graduating seniors be
in attendance.
The Director of Alumni Affairs,
Mr. Henry Sumner, will be giving
a brief presentation on alumni
activities to members of the
Class of 1978. It should also be
noted that time will be allotted
at the end of the meeting to take
care of last minute details for
the senior trips to either Free-
port or the Catskills.

Planning for
1979 Flower
Show
Now that another successful
Philadelphia Flower and Garden
Show exhibit has been put to
rest, a committee of students
and faculty members are begin-
ning to plan ahead for the 1979
Show. The first task facing the
group is to sort through pot-
ential ideas for the 1979 exhibit
theme. After selecting a theme
the group will settle down to
plan the numerous efforts that
go in to putting together an
attractive and educational ex-
hibit.
Among the ideas being con-
sidered for the 1979 exhibit are
plant pests, commercial floral
production, turf and lawn care,
pruning and trimming, foliage
plants and city gardening. The
Flower Show Committee meets
at intervals on Tuesday after-
noon and participation by any
student or faculty member or
staff member is more than wel-
come. It's a great chance to
apply your skills in graphics,
construction, rearing plant
material, or public relations.
Interested? Contact Dr. Mertz
(Ag. BIdg. 121, Ext. 334).
Think
Green
By Steve Silbersteln
Many amateur growers of indoor
plants hesitate to enter their
plants in flower shows. A
common misconception is that
plants must be large or old.
However, size is not of major
importance to flower show
judges.
The important thing is that the
plant be in a vigorous and
healthy condition, but it must
be free of insects and disease.
All diseased, blemished and dis-
torted leaves and flowers should
be removf;d from it. Sometimes
slightly damaged leaves can be
carefully trimmed so as to
appear undamaged.
The shape of the plant should be
symmetrical unless purposely
grown otherwise. Flowers (if
any) should be distributed over
the plant so that the overall
effect is balanced. Unless pur-
posely grown otherwise, the
plant should be potted symmet-
rically. The size of the pot
should be in good proportion
to the plant, and both plant and
pot should be aesthetically pleas-
ing together.
Unfortunately, some judges tend
to favor clay pots over plastic
but do not let that discourage
you. Plastic pots can be quite
respectable. Remember, the
worst that can happen is that
you don't win a ribbon!

Dear Editor:
N^
Once again I am glad to see that
DVC is showing concern and re-
spect for a very few people while
ignoring the basic convenience
(5f the greater majority. I am, of
course, talking about the new
time schedule which was in-
stituted on campus. It was not
bad enou^ that every building
and classroom have different
times. I find myself leaving 10
minutes early in the AG building
and showing up 10 minutes late
in Mandell when actually only
four minutes have passed be-
tween the two. This is a very
surprising physical phenomenon
in that Einstein's Theory of
Relativity does not apply in this
case.
I realize that it is difficult to
find a person qualified enough
to unify the time zones on cam-
pus. So - - 1 propose that an inter
campus time line be instituted
running from the corner of Work
Hall, between the Ag building
and Mandell and back around
the Ag building right down
through the middle of Segal Hall
only to circle around those 110
people who miss thei? lunch. . ..
because there isn't enough time
for them to munch their lunch.
In this way, we could conceiva-
bly allow them to eat and still
leave the rest of us on a regular
time schedule.
(Signed)
(Students Hating Inadequate
Time Zones)
To the Editor:
It behooves me to call your
attention to the fact that there
are several time zones that we
students at Del Val must en-
counter each day. To give us a
small insight to the problem, I
will take you on a small tour of
the campus on our infamous gar-
den tractor known as the "M".
To begin with, we will proceed
south on Route 202 and turn on
our AM radio to discover that
the exact time is 8:20 . . . well
within the limits in order to be
on time for our first class. We
now enter the south entrance
of DVC, passing Security Head-
quarters, and notice that the
time is now 8:27 am (by their
clock). We now ride the "M"
northward, up past the dorms
and our illustrious dining hall to
Segal Hall where we find, after
5 minutes have elapsed, that it is
now 8:15??! We sit down and
have our morning cup of coffee
until, by Segal Hall time, it is
8:26. We then proceed to walk
across campus to our first class
of the day which is located in
Mandell Hall. Upon arrival, we
discover that class has been in
session for at least 15 minutes,
and we have received a cut for
our tardiness.
We patiently endure the remain-
der of the class period, and the
time is now 9:45. We leisurely
stroll to Lasker Hall to see i pro-
fessor about a project due in the
next two weeks. With 5 minutes
having lapsed, we then proceed
to the Ag building only to find
that we are 20 minutes early for
class. Class finally begins and,
upon its completion, we proceed
on the 3'/2 (conservative esti-
mate) minute walk to the library
We spend 15 minutes in the lib-
rary and then proceed to Segal
Hall for lunch. We sit down,
masticate our food properly, and
begin the long walk to Allman
Hall (about 4 minutes) to see a
high ranking school official.
Upon arriving, we find that we
are 20 minutes early for our
appointment, but that is the
least of our worries, as this high-
ranking school . official is 20
minutes late coming back from
lunch.
We now stroll leisurely over to
Mandell Hall for our last class of
the day which begins at 1:35.
Upon entering Mandell once
a^in, we find that classes have
been in session for over 20
minutes. During this period we
were to have taken a test, but,
due to our tardiness, and the
time zone difference, we will not
be allowed admittance by the
prof. Throwing our arms up in
the air in unison, we then walk
back to Segal Hall, hop back on
the "M", and proceed to the
parking lot somewhere in the
outer reaches of New Britain in
order to find our car.
This, my furry friends, is an
example of probably the simp-
lest in any one of the many daily
schedules to be found in the hot
little hands of the students at
Del Val.

veillance)

Robert Gabel, a Sophomore Bio-

track meet against Widener Col-
lege on Wednesday, April 5,
1978. Bob's time of 4:25.93
broke the old College standard
set by Lou Coppens, Class of 65,

against Millersville in 4:26.4 on
April 20, 1965.
Gabel also won the 880 with a
time of 2:03.3.
75 Runs in 8 Games
The Aggie Baseball Squad is currently 4-0 in the league and 6-2
overall. Delaware Valley has taken doubleheaders from Fairleigh
Dickinson, Drew and Albright; their only losses came when they
dropped a twin bill to Ursinus College both by a 2-1 margin.
The Aggie hurlers have pitched fine baseball. Third year coach
John Hardy has received fine pitching from John Zisk 2-0, Steve
Fornoff 2-0, Craig Thiebolt 1-0 and two freshmen Ed Urbanic
and Jim Gordon. In the next six games the Aggies face the meat
of their schedule when they play Scranton, Wilkes and Upsala all
in home doubleheaders.
Along with good pitching the team has hit the ball well. In the
first eight games Delaware Valley has recorded 74 hits in 218
trips to the plate for a team average .339. In their eight games the
Aggies have scored 75 runs and limited their apponent to only 18.
The big sticks for Del Val have been John Zisk .540, Dennis
Helmstetter, Phil Butler, Greg Lacava and Jim Dunbar all batting
well over 300.
The defense has improved drastically. At this early point in the
season the Aggies are averaging only one error a game.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT SUMMARY
Early this semester, I reported the accomplishments of Student Government from the Fall Semester.
It was a semester full of hard work and progress. I am pleased to announce that we have kept that same momentum this spring
which helped us accomplish many projects.
The following is a summary of the accomplishments of the 1977-78 Academic year:
Fall Semester
New Pool Room and system to run it
Return of a money-making Game Room
Financial help to dormitories for Programming
Initial start of Landscaping School Sign
Cooperative work from A. P.O. to Student Government
Laundry Room - located in Ulman
Unloading lots by Cooke and Barness
Extended hours of Snack Bar
Acquiring of School Signs on 61 1 By-Pass
Promotion of Christmas Spirit, Contest and Activity
A large increase in various Student Activities
Open communication through logo, meetings, new
bulletins, better advertising
Student Government Office
All Student Government equipment has been inventoried
and made available to every student with permission
Spring Semester
• Accepted Proposal to extend Library hours, which took
effectjanuary 29, 1978
Accepted Proposal to grant academic credit to nfiembers
of the Student Government which is retroactive from
September 1, 1977
Completion of Landscaping School Sign
Accepted Proposal to Amend the Constitution
A even larger increase in Social Activities
Financial help to promote and help Super-Stars Weekend
Proposal for a 21 -Club on Campus (will be carried over
into next year)
Special Committee for Co-ed Dormitories
Proposal for an increase in the Student Goverment Budget
Approval of a New School Newspaper (Delaware Valley
College Collegian)
Proposal to increase lounge space and study areas In Dorm-
itories
Accepted Proposal to establish a system whereby the
College, a department, or any recognized college organ!-
ization be authorized to issue passes to prospective
students of the College to allow their entrance into social
events
Accepted proposal to urge the Board of Trustee's and
Administration to consider renovations of the Student
Center as a major priority
In summary, we have worked on and completed 27 major projects including 7 proposals accepted by the Administration and 1 still
to be accepted. Besides these accomplishments, we have resolved many problems that occur from day to day. It is clearly evident
that the 77-78 Student Government meant business and that is exactly what we did.
I hope next year's Student Government does even more and retains the momentum that we have had.

Express Yourself
Ask yourself why should you
care?
The answer is very simple. The
Collegian is what you are. If
you do not care thenAve will not
have a school newspaper next
year. At this time it is necessary
to train a staff for next year, we
need editors, reporters and a
treasurer. If you ever wanted to
get involved but were afraid to,
now is the time.
There will be a meeting on Mon-
day, the 24th at 4:20 p.m. in
the placement office (Bird Gage)
for anyone who is interested.
The Collegian is what students
make it, controversial, funny or
nothing. Get involved!!
Senior Special
Problems
The presentation of the Senior Special Problems projects will take
place on Wednesday, April 26 at 4:15 p.m. in Mandell Hall,
Room 216. Dr. James Miller will be the moderator. The follow-
ing Seniors will be presenting papers:
1. Brian Strohmeier. "Reactions of para-substituted
amines with m-bromis (cyclopentadienyl dicarbonyl-
iron (II)]
2. Joanne Trauth. "Cellulose decomposing bacteria in soil.
3. Linda Silverman. "The effects of Acetylsallcylic acid
on fetuses of Ratus norvegicus.

Point:
I am greatly pleased to see the
rapid response to my previous
letter. (Friday April 14, 1978;
Vol. XI, no. 5). A qualified
person took it upon himself to
try and unify the time zones on
campus. Unfortunately, though
this person's intentions were
probably good, it is not quite
what I had in mind. I agree that
no time at all is a means of
unifying time, but stealing . . .
no, removing the clock from
Segal Hall just doesn't cut it.
This letter is more or less a plea
to the individual who removed
our stunning, slightly used, in-
accurate time piece, to please
return it to it's original place
above the rather ugly, boarded
up fireplace in our beloved
Segal Hall.
Being an optimist, I believe that
you (the conscience thief) are in
reality having the inner workings
of the clock repaired as a further
effort to rectify the time prob-
lem on campus.
Again, I would like to ask that
the clock be returned as it's
absence does not really help our
cause!!

To the Editor:

Counterpoint:
I, too, am pleased to see the sud-
den effort to unity the time
zones on campus. At least there
are a few individuals who have
some interest in intracampus
affairs. But, unlike the previous
writer, I fail to see how this pre-
sent situation could possibly all-
eviate the ever-present existance
of the natural time zones which
are found exclusively on this
campus. It seems to me that this
would only allow a type of
chaos even more rempant than
that which is already present on
our fair campus.
Come with me, if you will, and
lean out of the window in the
radio station which overlooks
this stunning sight. Peer directly
through the ginko trees to the
far side of the ground upon
which we spend so much of our
time being "educated". Notice
if you will, the haphazard rambl-
ings of the professors back and
forth between classes. This has
not been unplanned!! It is a de-
finite effort by the administrat-
ion to undermine those assoc-
iated with the college. If we turn
our gaze out into the real world,
where some people (who are
omniscient) tell us that the rest
of the world is in a frenzy, we
will notice that the chaotic
world outside has at least some
kind of hourly order on which
to base their daily activities.
Then, looking back on campus,
we see the professors as well as
the students, trying desparately
to sort out what they should be
doing when and constantly
asking each other what time it is,
when, in actuality, nobody
knows. This is normal??? And I
thought that we were supposed
to be learning some type of
organizational procedures on
which to base our future lives!!
Returning to the problem at
hand, I disagree that returning
the clock back to it's former
benevolent status would return
everything to normal. What good
is one clock on campus that has
an approximate correct time
when the rest of the campus. . .
indeed the rest of the world!! . .
is on a totally different time
standard than Segal Hall itself.

How is a professional evaluation
program constructed? What
factors should be evaluated? Are
students qualified to make these
judgments? These are just a few
of the questions which crop up
in discussing a workable plan to
accomplish the goals of faculty
evaluation.
The principles on which the
effectiveness of an evaluation
program is based must be trusted
universally or as nearly so as
possible. The entire college
community needs assurance that
the evaluation will be taken
seriously, remain confidential,
be properly interpreted, and will
yield appreciable results. If this
is not the case, if the procedure
becomes a pointless farce, the
evaluations received will be use-
less since the student will have
no reason to put any thought or
effort into his appraisal. The
student may even fear to give an
honest opinion if the principle
of confidentiality is violated.
After taking steps to insure con-
fidentiality the remaining three
principles could best be con-
sidered collectively as the
followthrough. The instructor
should have aid within easy
reach in order to stimulate the
improvement which is the de-
sired result of the evaluation;
the instructor should have rea-
son to believe he must make an
effort to make the indicated
improvements, and, finally,
everyone should be satisfied
with the professionalism shown
in the conduct and interpre-
tation of the evaluation.
Most of the traits of poor teach-
ing fall into one of three areas:
personal traits, method of con-
ducting class and method of pre-
senting course. There is much
overlap in these areas; however
they do suggest most of the pro-
per subject matter to cover in a
student evaluation form. Some
examples of these traits follow
divided by category.
• Lazy, sarcastic, conceited,
impatient, dogmatic, intoler-
ant, shows favoritism, won't
admit errors, no humor or
unkind humor.
• Non-control of class, not
enough time for work, talk-
ing over students' heads, not
permitting disagreement, un-
systematic rambling in lec-
ture, no outline or syllabus,
inaccurate and careless grad-
ing, poorly made tests, reads
lectures.
• Out of date material, un-
varied methods, over depend-
ence on text or notes, lack of
connection made between
class and real world, repeat-
ing examples in text, provid-
ing no materials of his own.
• The above traits are also
balanced by corresponding
virtues some of which,
according to the College and
University Environment
Scales (CUES), are:
• Thorough teachers, dedicated
scholars, high standards, well
explained goals of courses,
vigorous class discussion, use
of exams to measure students
understanding, frequent re-
visions of courses, and posi-
tive reaction to criticism.
All of the factors mentioned are
fairly objective criteria but room
must be left also for the intang-
ibles, the spark of flair which
make some teachers superior
even though the objective traits
don't indicate any vast superior-
ity. It should be noted that none
of these points deals directly
with the instructor's professional
preparation, which the student is *
not in a position to judge and
has to be evaluated by other
means.
In certain cases, especially where
there is a more general com-
plaint, the structure of a depart-
ment's courses may be at fault.
In studies at the University of
Michigan the faculty were con-
sistently rated superior to the
courses; it is planning which is
lacking. This is why many
faculty members require the
most aid, and help in planning
should be readily available to
any instructor who needs it.
The results of a properly con-
ducted and analyzed faculty
evaluation based on the prin-
ciples presented above are of
immense benefit to all students
concerned with getting a quality
education and to all faculty
concerned with providing it.

What is JOJOBA?
jojoba (simmonosia chinensis) is
a beautiful shrub native to parts
of Arizona, California and
Mexico. The seeds are slightly
smaller than sunflower seeds and
have been eaten by the Indians
for thousands of years.
More importantly, the seeds
yield an oil (actually a liquid
wax) which serves as an ex-
cellent replacement for sperm
whale oil. Sperm whale oil is
used as a high temperature lub-
ricant. Since sperm whales are
being over hunted, jojoba may
be more widely cultivated in the
near future.
Jojoba is dioecious (male and fe-
male flowers on separate plants).
It grows well in arid and semi-
arid regions and is hardy to 15
degrees F.

Super Stars Week-end
A certain group of people who probably had as much fun as the
participants were very valuable to having the contest run as
smoothly as it did. These people are the officials. They were there
before the events and after to help set up for that days activities.
The officials and helpers were Vince DeStefino, Donna Miller,
Jeff Singleterry, Barb Petty, Janet Botti, Marianne Lamb, John
DeNoma, Patty Briar, Fran Zamiskie, Karin Schmid, Dave Pratt,
Dirk Wise, Pete Pruitt, Cindy Buchannon, Gary Schneider, Keith
Detrick, Rich Keifner, Jim DeMille, Paul Pearson, Bill Grubb, and
John DelGaiso. Let's all take our hats off to the officials, because
it could not have been done without them.
No matter whether the teams won or lost, everyone seemed to
have loads of fun at this annual event organized by the Resident
Assistant Staff and the Assistant Dean of Students Office, and
paid for by Student Government.
Superstars weekend came to a close with Team No. 4 (Bob God-
bout, Vince Castello, Mike Danus, Stacy Kerstetter , Beth Cooper
and Barb Gregory) finishing in first place with 162 points. Team
No. 68, headed up by Vince Mattel came in second with 138
points. And third place went to team No. 80 captained by Steve

Golf Gossip
Delaware Valley's Golf team trav-
elled to Wilkes-Barre and came
away with one win and one de-
feat. The win came over Moravian
as the Aggies stopped the Mus-
tangs by 437-447. Scranton's
score of 415 was best of the day
in the tri-meet.
"The course was very wet and it
was very windy, consequently the
scores were high", said Aggie
Coach, Ned Linta.
For Delaware Valley College, Ken
Rickenbach, French town, N.J.,
had an 86, Mike Strusiak, Wayne,
N.J. had an 87 along with team-
mate John Bradley of Bridge-
hampton, N.Y., Mark Werkheiser,
Norristown, Pa., had an 88, and
Richard Brandel, Pottstown, and
Ed Strzelski, Moorestown, N.J.,
both had 89 's.
The low medalist of the day was
Scranton's Mike Gonski, who had

The Aggies are now 2-2 and will
visit Upsala on Monday, April 17.

So long
for Now.
/n the past semester we, the
editorial staff of the Collegian,
believe we have created at last
the ideal newspaper, suited to
life as it is lived at Del. Val. With
the Invaluable aid of Dr. Ziemer
and Mr. McClelland we have con-
sistently produced a high Quality
newspaper on a regular schedule,
which exceeds the standards of
"The Ram" in recent years.
As always, we welcome part-
icipation by any member of the
student body who cttres to con-
tribute (Pssst, don't forget to
mention the half credit!) and we
have noted, with some dis-
appointment, the lack of enth-
usiasm demonstrated We are
going to say "surprise" but
apathy at Del. Val. is never a
surprise.
Bitterness is not our goal, how-
ever, in this fond farewell. The
stimulation of some interest is
our objective. Wake up, Del.
Val. You no longer have to
worry that the subject you write
about, be it event, general
harassment, or timely humor,
will be passe' by the time it
reaches print a month or more
later. The "Collegian " is printed
weekly. Everything is current,
fresh and newsworthy.
We are disheartened that we
must depend so heavily on
college press releases and other
officially derived material. The
situation may be even worse
next semester. A majority of our
small, but dedicated staff are
graduating and no-one has
stepped forward to fill our shoes
notably the size 10's of the
editors and treasurer.
Our "baby" is going up for
adoption with this issue. We
think it has a good home but we
want to find it some loving
parents. There are no forms to
fill out, no money down, no
monthly payments and no fine
print. Honest!

Memorial Stadium Announced
At a recent meeting of the Board of
Trustees, an approval was given to
develop James Work Field into the
lames Work Memorial Stadium. The
facility is named for the late Dr.
lames Work, Founder, President and
Chancellor of Delaware Valley
College.
Dr. Work served the school and
college in various capacities over a
67-year period. He was a member of
the football, track and baseball
teams, Football Coach from 1913-
1921, President of the National
Alumni Association, member of the
Board of the Trustees, Treasurer
and President of the college, and
Chancellor of the College from 1974
until the time of his death in 1977.
The new stadium will include a foot-
ball field, practice area, an all
weather six lane 400 meter track
with an eight lane 1 10 meter straight-
way, and facilities for all field events.
The new home side grandstand will
seat approximately 2950 people and
will contain a large press box plus a
field house underneath the stands.
Two locker rooms, a training room, a
concession booth, public lavatories, a
storage room and a reception room
will be included within the field
house. The existing home grand-
stand will be moved to the visiting
side of the field. The total spectator
capacity will be approximately 4000.
The lames Work Memorial Stadium
will be used for inter collegiate
athletics, physical education for both
men and women, outdoor concerts
and Commencement Exercises.
The project will commence immed-
iately and a September, 1978 open-
ing is planned.
Read Carefully for Fall Aid
All New lersey residents who are students at D.V.C. should be cognizant of
the changes that the New jersey Department of Higher Education has in-
stituted regarding the State Scholarship Program.
New lersey and Pennsylvania are continuing their reciprocal grant agree-
ment for the 1978-1979 academic year. The new program will establish a
common basis for awarding grants and will utilize a common method of
need analysis. In accordance with this arrangement several alterations have
been implemented.
1. The New lersey Department of Higher Education in cooperat-
ion with the College Scholarship Service and the BEOG pro-
gram have developed a procedure whereby students can be con-
sidered for federal, state and college financial aid programs by
filing ONE form - the New lersey Financial Aid Form(N|FAF)^
All New lersey residents attending in or out of state colleges
must file the N|FAF. This form takes the place of the FAF
and is essentially identical. The completed NjFAF must be
mailed to the College Scholarship Service in Princeton and the
analysis will be forwarded to the New jersey Office of Student
Assistance only if item 80A is checked "yes." Also item 83 -
BEOG consideration - must be checked "yes." A student
applying for the Garden State Scholars Program (N.j. students
only may apply) and the Tuition Aid Grant (TAG - N.j. res-
idents in out of state colleges as well as institutions in N.j. may
apply) must apply for the BEOG program.
2. N.j. residents who are attending colleges in another sute will
be found eligible for TAG. The TAG for studenu who attend
college outside of N.J. may range up to $500 per year depend-
ing on the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC). Garden State
Scholar Grants will range up to $1000 for N.j. residents
attending college in that state depending on the same anaylsls.
3. New lersey residents who file the NjFAF will receive a
STUDENT ELIGIBILITY NOTICE (SEN) which must be sub-
mitted to the Student Financial Aid Office for processing.
4. The deadline for the 1978-1979 academic year was April 15th.
However, the Student Financial Aid Office will treat the FAF's
for New jersey students accordingly. Please note that for
future years ALL New jersey residents must file the NjFAF
whether they are attending college in New jersey or another
sUte.
5. Students currently holding a New jersey State Scholarship
at D.V.C. will retain their grants as long as they maintain
their eligibility under previous program regulations.

Interview with Al Wilson !
Mr. Wilson was asked to respond to questions relative to the construction
of the James Work Memorial Stadium.
QUESTION: "Are you aware that there Is criticism about this project
among the students and members of the faculty?"
WILSON: "Actually no one has expressed Uils opinion to me. However, If
you tell me It Is true, I believe you. Let's fust take one point
as a rebuttle to this criticism. As you get older, you will meet
certain individuals who, as a result of some special quality , are
head and shoulders above the crowd. There are really very few
who qualify for this category. James Work was such a man.
This College as we know It Is the result of his effort. He was a
man of vision, of passion, of action. Certainly he was a thinker
and a philosopher! But, . , the thing that stood out about him
was his ability to get things done. There was a sparkle In his
eye, a set line to his Jaw, sleeves rolled up, ready to go to It. He
willingly met challenge after challenge and won I Look around
you! His physical accomplishments are everywhere: this gym-
nasium, Goldman Hail, Samuel Hail, New Dorm, Levin Dining
Hall, Mandell Science Center and the Agriculture Building to
name a few.
There will probably be only two things with the word memor-
ial describing them on this campus. One is the KrausMopf
Memorial Library honoring the memory of the founder of the
National Farm School. Dr. Krauskopf, from what I am told
was a thinker ■ a planner. So the Joseph Krauskopf Memorial
Library is a fitting tribute. The second is the James Work
Memorial Stadium honoring the memory of the Founder,
President and Chancellor of our College as well as the National
Agricultural College, Dr, Work loved sports as he loved this
school. What better way is there to honor the man who was a
doer and competitor extraordinaire than to name our new
stadium in him memory?
I hope the answer is satisfactory and I doubt if you will really
hear much criticism from our faculty and students, "
QUESTION: "Why do we need a new football stadium?"
WILSON: "I hope you don't mind my answering this question with a
number of points, and if you don 't mind, let's list them I, 2, 3,
etc.
1. First of all, we are not just building a new football stadium.
The James Work Memorial Stadium Is an athletic complex. The
football stadium is only a part of It. Actually, if all we cared
about was improving the football field, we could have remod-
eled Alumni Field into a fine stadium. However that would
not have solved many of our problems. So to refer to the new
complex as simply a football stadium is erroneous.
2, One of our most critical needs in the Department of Athletics
is locker room facilities. Presently, all of our locker rooms are
housed within the two gymnasiums which were built when this
was an ail-boys school. With the addition of Women's Athletics
and additional overall enrollment we are bursting at the seams.
During the fail, three men 's sports share two locker rooms and
before these seasons end, two winter sports begin practice. Our
women are forced out of their locker room on various occas-
ions and I suppose the crowning blow was having our Field
Hockey and Soccer teams play away on Homecoming because
of inadequate locker room facilities.
Two locker rooms will be built within the complex, as well as
a storage room, public lavatories, a concession stand and, the
Work Reception Room which will contain memorabilia of
James Work's life. It will be used for meetings and receptions
by faculty, students and alumni,
3. At one time, Delaware Valley College conveniently shared the
track facility at the Doyiestown Community Field. Except for
the risk factor with athletes running to and from the College
and the Track, it worked reasonably well. However, times have
changed and we now share the same facility with boys' and
girls ' track teams from two high schools and even from some
junior highs. Not only is there difficutly In scheduling home
meets but there is a morale problem relative to the availability
of the track for practice.
The construction of a track on campus will be practical and
also enhance our image as a college. It seems logical that the
only four-year college In Bucks County should be able to host
a Bucks County High School Relay Championship. People who
did not know of our existence might all of a sudden come to
know us because of our quality facility. ^
4, Despite the fact that we have a campus in excess of 800 acres,
we do not have an abundance of practice fields or intramural
fields. A new practice field for football within the stadium
complex could also double as an (hopefully lighted) intramural
' Softball field.
The beauty of the campus will be enhanced by not practicing
football in the center of the campus on the baseball field.
Alumni Field will be utlllied for Field Hockey only. Therefore,
for the majority of the time a beautiful lawn will be In exist-
ence as one enters our campus.

Letters
Dear Editor:
Of late, I have heard much discussion
concerning the proposed football
stadium. Most recently, the rumor (I
have to resort to this word for lacl(
of information about such projects
to the student body) is that the new
stadium will be constructed.
I do not know much more about the
project than stated here, so some of
my statements might be inapprop-
riate, but I know that many of these
arguments are present in many
students' minds.
Why do we need a new stadium? Will
our football team perform any better
with a new playing field? Why does
the College support athletic advent-
ures such as this, when other econo-
mic investments in the college would
perhaps benefit the students and the
college more. And who is funding
such a project? The students? The
athletic department? special contrib-
utors? or a combination? Upon
becoming an alumnus this year, I
know I will have some say over what
happens with donated funds. Why
don't students have more say in such
events, or at least be notified of the
chance to now?
Some of the projects that might be of
more importance to the majority of
the student body are an enlargement
of the overly-successful laundromat,
a new student center/auditorium (the
lack of a proper stage and auditorium
was presented to student govern-
ment, April 24th, 1978), functioning
vending machines, retrieval of con-
verted study and TV lounges and
additional parkmg space near acad-
emic buildings for commuters.
Can the students find out about what
D.V.C. plans for expansion? Or nwist
we wait until we are rich alumni and
earmark a fortune for specific impro-
vements, when we cannot enjoy
them? Happy students make a happy
college.
Stephen R. Skoien
Editor:
to address the student body,
Ity and administration concern-
ing the construction of the new track
and field facility, particularly direct-
ing this letter to the attention of
those who oppose the decision. These
people are quick to criticize the de-
cision by saying that the money
should have been spent on "more
important things," i.e. educational
facilities, farm equipment and the
construction of new and better barns.
There are a multitude of provisions
which must be made on campus and
I am sure the administration is aware
of them. They just can not be done
all at once on a limited financial
source. Certain items take priority.
The decision to construct a new track
was not a premature spur-of-the-
moment one. In the past it was
turned down many times in order to
initiate other projects, i.e. the con-
struction of a dorm, for one example.
A new track will bring with it many
unseen inherent advantages. The safe-
ty risk involved in jogging up to the
C.B. West track for practice and com-
petition will be eliminated. Increased
community relations can occur with
the use of the facility by the local
townspeople. An increased student
pride in the school will also occur. In
addition, D.V.C. recognition will
grow. The value of the decision
should be realized by its opponents.
It exemplifies the fact that beneficial
things can be accomplished at D.V.C.
by working with the administration.
In a school the size of D.V.C, it
takes time, effort and money to get
large projects accomplished, but the
important thing is that it can be
done! Instead of criticizing decisions
already made, these people should
divert their energies into suggesting
and supporting new projects. Further
criticism aimed at issues of these
types can only serve as a hindrance to
the critics themselves, to the improv-
ement of our college, and to the
proper student-administration rel-
ation that is necessary and conducive
to the success of future project
negotiations.
G.G. DeFranca
To the Editor,
Let's say you're living thousands of
miles from the continental United
States in U.S. held territory within
another country. If you suddenly
found out you would lose your job
within the next six months and had
to leave that country, what would
you do in this situation? Complaining
to your Congressman would ndt do
you any good because he helped
bring about your predicament. Stay-
ing in that country won't work very
well either because the country isn't
offering any worthwhile incentives to
stay. The only worthwhile course of
action left for the U.S. citizen in the
foreign country is to pack up and
leave.
This situation is real and is actually
happening now in the Canal Zone on
the isthmus of Panama.
Some might say, "Why not stay in
Panama?" Sure you can stay in Pan-
ama and be controlled by Panama's
National Guard Police. Before, the
Panamanian National Guard didn't
always treat U.S. Citizens fairly.
Now that they will acquire more
power (when the U.S. police force is
phased out), I can't imagine how
they will treat the Americans
(Zonians).
Six months is not a long time when
you have to pull up stakes, give up
your career, move your family to the
U.S. and hope to find a job. The
factors of losing one's job and re-
locating your entire family are hard
enough, but for a family to do so in
this day and age is almost unafford-
able.
Ever since the treaty negotiations
started years ago, the Americans in
the Canal Zone have been "getting
the shaft". In some situations, it
seems as if the U.S. Government
takes better care of foreigners than of
its own people. This seems to be the
case in the Panama Canal situation.
I enjoy so much about hearing how
these new treaties will encourage
better relationships with Panama and
all the other Latin American count-
ries. I have yet to hear anything
whatsoever from the U.S. Govern-
ment telling the U.S. public what
hardships the Zonians will be faced
with as a result of the treaties! Do
they think the public already has too
much to worry about? What signif-
icance do these few thousands of
Americans in the Zone have? They
are just the people who maintain and
keep the Canal operating, that's all.
They have no significance, do they?
President Carter says these treaties
are a big victory for him. For me, it's
too early to tell. If anything is going
to happen down there, it's going to
happen in the next few years. I just
hope that Panama's fascist military
dictator doesn't embrace commun-
ism!
With the United States being so gen-
erous, I hope France doesn't ask for
the Statue of Liberty back!
Signed
Michael Ridge (Annoyed American)

Ornamental Horticulture student at
the College. He was born and reared
in the Canal Zone, relocating In the
states upon enrolling at D. V.C. We

Is a vision

An Open Letter to
the Students
Spring is here and it is time for us all to endure (perhaps partake in) the
annual fit of rejuvenation popularly known as Spring Fever. Excitement is
in the air and we all feel it; it's been a long, hard winter and a long, hard
semester. We all feel a need to blow off some steam.
I am concerned,, however, that this year, perhaps more than most, the
ritual steam-blowing seems to have taken a particularly malicious turn.
When I arrived on campus early on the morning of May 4th, I found most
of the campus roadways barricaded (Bastile Day?) - an adolescent prank -
harmless enough on first impression, until you st6p to think what would
happen if an ambulance or fire truck had roared onto campus full-tilt to
answer an emergency call. Then other evidences of nocturnal activity be-
came evident: signs were uprooted, trees damaged and newly-planted sod
peeled back. Now we have passed the bounds of excusable youthful ex-
uberance . . . that kind of "prank" is simply malicious destruction. And in
many ways we all pay for it.
There are several things that happen when that kind of destruction takes
place. First of all, somebody has to pay for the time and materials to re-
place the damage. Guess who that "somebody" is - it's you! And while
those resources are being spent to repair senseless destruction, time and
effort are diverted from other more worthwhile pursuits, such as creating a
pleasant and memorable atmosphere for the Class of 1978's graduation
exercises.
Secondly, when incidents like this occur, everybody who is bothered by it
gets frustrated, especially if the culprits aren't caught. That frustration
needs to be vented and it might take any or all of several forms: tougher
administration of dorm policies, more parking tickets, tighter control of
student access to facilities or a distrustful attitude on the part of faculty or
administration personnel. We all suffer, from those of us who are frustrated
because it makes us tougher to get along with, to the whole student body
that has to bear the expense in many, many ways.
Is there a solution? The common comment seems to be, "Where were the
Ross guards?" Where, indeed? But that really isn't the answer, or, indeed,
the right question. Where were you? Unless we want to contemplate a
society where the police represent a very sizable fraction of the population,
we have to be willing to police ourselves. That doesn't mean everybody has
to become a fink or that everybody has to overnight become goody-goody.
It simply means that in a civil society, everybody has civil responsibilities.
If you want to have that kind of responsibility, you have to behave respon-
sibly. Malicious destruction doesn't have to happen. And it will only
happen when we let it happen. Think about it! Aren't you getting tired of
paying the freight for somebody else's destructive pranks? D.V.C. is where
you live nine months out of the year - do you want your home to become
an anarchaic shambles or do you want to have some sense of pride in your
home? The ball is in your court.
Sincerely,
)ohn C. Mertz
Interview with Al Wilson
Continued from page one
5. We have an unusually large rate of participation in Inter-
collegiate and Intramural Athletics. Not only will Inter-college-
iate events be held In the James Work Memorial Stadium, but it
will be used for intramural track meets, joggers and adequate
to hold outdoor events such as concerts, and the Commence-
ment Exercises. "
QUESTION: "How much will it cost and how will we finance it?"
WILSON: "I want to preface a statement on cost by stating that the
James Work Memorial Stadium will become a source of pride
for our students and alumni. I believe that our Alumni Execut-
ive Board realized this when they recently voted to support
this project. The actual cost will be approximately
$300,000.00. It will be funded by contributions to the James
Work Memorial Fund, private donations from members of the
Board of Trustees, alumni contributions and monies received
as a result of a major fund-raising drive to be initiated in the
near future.
Considering the fact that plans for this project have been dis-
cussed as far back as 1965, and Dr. Work told me personally
that we would build this complex, you can see that this Is not
a spur of the moment decision.
Our college has grown to the point that we must expand.
Certainly this project will be a fitting Memorial to Dr. James
Work and a practical realisation of the visions that made Del-
aware Valley College great. "
Election Day is Tuesday, May 16, 1978. Why not vote this year? Voter's
Guides are available through the Dean of Students Office and the Recept-
ion Desk in Lasker Hall.

RETURNS TO
DELAWARE
VALLEY
COLLEGE
Delaware Valley College will present an evening with the ASPARA-
GUS VALLEY CULTURAL SOCIETY on Wednesday, September
13, at 7:30 P.M. in Mandell 114. This will be a completely different
show from the one presented by this popular troupe last semester.
Admission is free.
ASPARAGUS VALLEY is a trio of young men who create an extra-
ordinary form of comedy which employs magical illusions, panto-
mime, classical music and carnival skills.
The members of the ASPARAGUS trio have extensive training and
experience in their respective arts. Penn jillette was trained at the
Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College and develop-
ed his caustic comic style as a street juggler and nightclub comedian.
Wier Chrisemer studied music history, composition and performance
at Amherst College, and directed the concerts of the Othmar
Schoeck Memorial Society For The Preservation of Unusual And
Disgusting Music for five years in New England. Teller, a third-
generation vaudevillian, has performed magic since early childhood
and has worked in theatre, music and pantomime for over twenty
years.
ASPARAGUS VALLEY has performed with such stars as Judy
Collins, Benny Goodman, Tony Bennett, Mabel Mercer, and The
Preservation Hall jazz Band. They have appeared on 'The Mike
Douglas Show" and for television audiences in New York, Atlanta,
Minneapolis, Boston and Philadelphia. They have also appeared on
numerous major college campuses along the East Coast and in the
Midwest.
In January, 1979, ASPARAGUS VALLEY will begin their second 6-
weck return engagement at Theatre 5 at The Walnut Street Theatre
in Philadelphia.
AGRONOMY SENIOR

a conservation technician while attending Delaware Valley College.
In spite of his full-time job with the Soil Conservation District, he
was able to do very well in his College courses, making the Dean's
List several times.
Wes, who prior to enrolling at Delaware Valley College worked for
the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry, the West Virginia Geologic
Survey and the United States Forest Service, plans to enter a conser-
vation career with the Soil Conservation Service following gradua-

Or. Richard Ziemer, Associate Professor of General Studies is shovwi
with his award-winning Bird of Paradise Recipe.
On May 20, 1978, Dr. Richard C. Ziemer was one of 10 finalists in
the National Chicken Cooking Contest for the state of Pennsylvania,
and participated by preparing his recipe at North Lebanon County
Area High School. The goal was to select one person from Pennsyl-
vnaia to participate in the National Cookoff in Tampa July 26,
1978.
As each contestant's dish was finished, it was judged; and by noon
the judges' decision was announced and a lunch was served. The only
male contestant, Dr. Ziemer listened as the one winner was announc-
ed. Instead, he came in somewhere between second and tenth place
and received two new T-fal skillets. This year's winner had made
three previous attempts.
The four judging categories are 1 . simplicity, 2. interest, 3. appear-
ance, and 4. flavor. Dr. Ziemer's recipe has been acclaimed a winner
by family and friends anyway, and should you like to prepare it,
here it is. What could be simpler than three ingredients? Orange
soda or diet orange soda may be substituted for orange juice, and
the chicken may be prepared in the oven or on an outdoor grill.
BIRD OF PARADISE
1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut in parts
2/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup soy sauce
In large shallow baking pan place chicken, skin side up, in single
layer. In bowl mix orange juice and soy sauce. Pour over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, in 325°F oven, basting and turning every 15
minutes about 1-1/2 hours or until fork can be inserted in chicken
with ease. Remove chicken from basting sauce to serve. Makes 4
servings.
RUN, DON'T WALK; THE
COLLEGE NEEDS YOU FOR
CROSS COUNTRY
The Del Val Cross Country Team is again in search of students both
experienced and inexperienced, male or female, who might be
interested in participating in cross country during the Fall, 1978
season.
Although previous running experience is sometimes helpful in cross
country, it is not as critical as in many other sports. In fact, many
Del Val cross country standouts in past years had no competitive
running experience until they enrolled at D.V.C,
The team is a very close knit group, and practices are scheduled so as
to compliment rather than detract from academic endeavors. If you
think you might be interested in running with the cross country
team during the Fall Season, report to the main lobby of the James
Work Gymnasium weekdays at 4:15 P.M. dressed to run (shorts, T-
shirt, sneakers).

OPENING DAY SET FOR
SATURDAY
Saturday, September 16 is a big day in Delaware Valley College
football. The Aggies will host the Colonels from Wilkes College in
the opening game of the season. The reason for the excitement is
this will be the first game played in the new James Work Memorial
Stadium. The new Aggie home named after the founder of the Col-
lege was constructed during the summer. This brand new facility is
one of the best in the area with increased seating capacity to handle
4,000 spectators and a complete field house.
Head Coach, A! Wilson, is optimistic as he enters his third year. In
last year's season opener the "Aggies" snapped an 18 game losing
streak and went on to a 2-7 record. Throughout the pre-season camp
the coaching staff has been impressed with the enthusiasm and posi-
tive attitude of this year's squad. Coupled with some experience the
Aggies are looking to improve on last year's record.
Coach Rollie Schmidt of Wilkes knows that Delaware Valley is
opening a new stadium. He has led the "Colonels" to seven M.A.C.
crowns during his sixteen years at Wilkes. Wilkes has 33 returning
lettermen, 18 on offense and 15 on defense. With plenty of experi-
ence returning, Coach Schmidt should have the Wilkes Colonels in
the thick of M.A.C. northern conference action and improve on last
year's 4-5 record.
Presently there Is a five way battle from the defensive tackle posi-
tion. Senior jim Fretz S'll", 200 and four sophomores; Ed Craig
6'6", 230; Charles Alpuche 6'4", 203; Mark Beale 6'1 ", 220; and
Frank Velucci 6'2", 210 are fitting for the two slots. The line-
backing crop should be much improved. Outstanding candidates for
linebackers are juniors Joe Leili and Bryan Felter, sophomores Tom
Houpt and Warren Robertson, and freshman Kevin Hoke and jim
Bumbulsky.
Keith Sipple 6*0", 175 junior, an outstanding defensive back last
year will head a list of defensive candidates in the backfield. Junior
Gary Scott, sophomores Brian Emerick, Art Hannigan, Mark Dobies,
and Mike Mondevergine; and freshmen Paul Martino and Rod Bates
will battle for positions in the defensive backfield.
In addition to having some experience. Coach Wilson feels that the
whole squad is excited about something else. The Aggies will open
the season in a brand new facility. The James Work Memorial
Stadium, named after the founder of the College, will be completed
for the first game.
Coach Wilson and his squad are looking forward to the season.
Wilson feels that a lot will depend on what happens in the rest of the
M.A.C. northern conference. The Aggies will do their best to con-
tinue their improvement on Saturday, September 16 in the season's
opener against Wilkes at home.
FOOTBALL
PROSPECTUS - 1978
Head Coach Al Wilson and his staff greeted 97 football candidates
at the beginning of camp. Wilson was impressed with the squad's
enthusiasm and positive attitude. For the first time in Wilson's ttiree
years at Delaware Valley College he has some experienced players to
call upon. Although there are only four seniors, an experienced crop
of juniors and sophomores, including about 25 letter winners, adds
to Wilson's spirit of optimism.
During Coach Wilson's first two seasons he has stressed improve-
ment. Last year the Aggies won their first two games and broke an
18 game losing streak. Wilson feels this season's positive attitude will
help improve on last year's 2 - 7 record.
Depth and competition for playing positions characterize the offen-
sive unit. At the quarterback spot there is a three-way battle for the
starting position. Juniors Metro Malasavage 6'2", 180 from Marian
Catholic, Ron Haraka 6'2", 190 from Clifton, N.J., and sophomore
Tom Kenny 6'3", 175 from Willow Grove hope to win the battle for
the starting quarterback job.
The backfield is led by last year's leading ground-gained junior Bill
Mullen 5'9", 180 from Pennsburg, Pa. Two other experienced backs
are junior Peter Albano, 5'10", 200 from Marian Catholic and senior
Joe Laumakis 5'9", 185 product of North Catholic H.S. in Phila-
delphia. Greg Salicondro a 5'ir', 180 sophomore from Cardinal
Dougherty H.S. in Philadelphia and freshman jim Duncan from
Pottsville has shown promise in the pre-season workouts.
At the flanker position, Les Davies 6'r', 190 sophomore from
Schuylkill Haven returns this season. Last year Davies was the
second leading receiver in the conference. Rich Jansson, a 5'H" 190
freshman from St. Clair, Pa. has also looked impressive in the flanker
position. The split end position, is shared by two sophomores, Dave
Jefferson 6'0", 180 from Perkasie and James Yaxujian 5'8", 160
from Schuylkill Haven.
Sophomore Gary Walters, last year's outstanding lineman heads a list
of veteran offensive linemen including sophomore Mike Bergamo,
junior Bob Root, and seniors Charles Thomas and Bob Reapsome.
Other contributors to the "green line" will be sophomore jim
Fogarty and freshman Greg Setta and Dave Bowersox. Returning at
the tight end position is Phil Boob a 6'2", 200 sophomore from Mill
Hall, Pa. Two freshmen, Mike Petty and Don Megarty, have also
looked good at that position.
The defense is anchored by co-captains jack Mazak a 6'2", 225 lb.
defensive end from Schuylkill Haven and Shickora, another 6'2",
210 lb. play defensive end. Last year Bruce Shickora was the de-
fensive statistical leader and led the team in tackles. Sophomore
defensive end Steve Fornoff has also looked good at that position.

AGGIES LOSE HOME OPENER
PARENTS' DAY SET
The Colonels of Wilkes College and the host Delaware Valley College
Aggies put on a good ^ow of hard hitting and U>ugh MAC football
for a large opening day in the new James Work Memorial Stadium.
The game was close and the outcome in doubt virtually until the
final ^n.
The early action was highlighted by tough defensive play by both
units. The Aggies had better field position but were able to come up
with one field goal by Kevin Hoke, a 6'1 1 " - 21 5 lb. freshman from
Pottsville, Pa. The 36 yarder was his third attempt of the game.
With 4 seconds left in the half, Wilkes capitalized on a partially-
blocked Steve Fomoff punt and Dan Pisarciak of Wilkes converted
a 39 yard field goal. The field goal knotted the game at 3-3.
Wilkes started the second half by marching 76 yards and Carmen
Lopresto, a 5'9" - 185 lb. sophomore running back, scored from the
five yard line. The extra point by Dan Pisarciak was good to make
the score Wilkes 10-3.
The Aggies of Delaware Valley College can>e back with a scoring
drive led by sophomore Tom Kenny from Willow Grove, Pa. Kenny
finished the day with 13 completions while attempting 31 passes.
Dave Jefferson, a 6'0" - 180 lb sophomore from Perkasie, Pa, was
the leading receiver with 8 catches for 148 yards. A 2 yard touch-
down run by Bill Mullen, a 5*9" - 185 lb. junior from Pennsburg, Pa,,
Wis the only Delaware Valley touchdown. The attempted two-point
conversion failed.
Delaware Valley College had several chances to score in the fourth
quarter. With less than 3 minutes to go in the game, Dan Pisarciak of
Wilkes missed a short field goal. The Wilkes defense held and re-
gained possession, ultimately winning the game 10-9.
The Delawve Valley College Aggies travel to Moravian College this
weekend. Last Saturday, Moravian and Dickinson College battled to
a 10-10 tie in another opening game thriller. A 1:30 kickoff is
scheduled for the Delaware Valley College and Moravian matchup.

WOMEN'S HELD HOCKEY OPENS
Observant students and faculty who walk along the road adjacent to
Alumni Field have noticed "women in motion" since Monday, Sept.
11. This elite group of "women In motion" are referred to as the
"Lady Aggies" and comprise the 1978-79 field hockey team.
After a grueling week of sprinting, jogging, and ball handling skills,
there are nineteen dedicated women who will be representing Dela-
ware Valley College in what could be the most competitive schedule
since hockey began in 1974.
The Lady Aggies open their season Thursday, Sept. 25th at Muhlen-
berg Collie, Allentown, Pa. Their home opener Is scheduled for
Parents' Day Saturday, Sept. 30th when they will host Ursinus
College at 1 1 :00 a.m.
Although the Lady Aggies' depth chart is limited. Coach Vellner is
expecting returning letter winners: Linda Budrewicz, Carol Metzgar,
Mary Ann Horst, Sue Ann Leed, and Barb Petty to change the one-
time defensive team into a strong offensive team; one that will con-
centrate on ball possession. Freshmen Irene Costa, Barb Meyer, and
Donna Cossano will play a major role in providing that extra offen-
ave punch that the Aggies wilj find necessary.
Along with the expanded schedule the Lady Aggies will be in con-
tention for a spot in the Northern Divisional play-offs of the MAC
which will be held the first week in November. Also, an all confer-
ence team will be selected for the first time in Middle Atlantic Con-
ference history. Coach Vellner feels that Del-Val has a few leading
candidates in Annette White, fullb^k and Linda Budrewicz, goal-
keeper.

COLLEGE STUDENTS URGED
TO REGISTER, VOTE
After scheduling classes and buying books, college students should
take a few minutes to register to vote.
That's the advice of Commonwealth Secretary Barton A. Fields who
says that 18 to 25-year-olds have largely ignored their right to vote.
"College students are often particularly well-informed on the issues
of the day, but they seem to neglect their right to vote," Mr. Fields
said.
"Political decisions affect nuny areas of a student's life such as the
tuition rate at state-supported and state-related colleges and univer-
sities, and the amount of state scholarship money available. It seems
to me that college students should take an interest in choosing the
office-holders whose decisions will directly affect their lives."
For those potential voters who are unsure of how to register and
vote, the Department of State offers the following short course in
voter education.
1 . Do I register where I live or where I go to school?
You may register either as an elector of the county in which
you live or you may register as an elector of the county in which
you attend school. The choice is up to you.
2. How do I register?
Register by appearing in person at the appropriate county
courthouse or, more simply, by obtaining and filling out a voter
registration by mail form. Many college bookstores and student
unions will have forms available. Forms can also be obtained at
various public places such as libraries, post offices, courthouse and
state stores. Mail registration forms are pre-addressed and postage-
paid.
3. Is there a deadline for voter registration?
In order to vote in the Novenvber 7 Election, you must register
by Tuesday, October 10. Persons who will be 18 on or before
November 8 are eligible to register.
4. Can I vote by absentee ballot?
If you will be out of the county where you are registered on
Election Day, Tuesday, November 7, you may request an absentee
ballot either by appearing in person at the appropriate county court-
house or by mailing a signed request for an absentee ballot to the
courthouse. You may apply for an absentee ballot between Septem-
ber 18 and October 31. When your application is approved, the
county will mail your absentee ballot to you.
5. Who will be up for election this November?
On Tuesday, November 7, Pennsylvanians will elect a govenor
and lieutenant governor, aJI representatives to Congress, all represen-
tatives to the State House, and the twenty-five State Senators from
even numbered districts.
Further information' is available from your county courthouse
or from the Bureau of Elections, Room 304 North Office Building,
Harrlsburg, Pennsylvania 17120.

THE PHUAOELmiA NATIONAL BANK
GIFTBOX OPENED
A giant GIftbox was opened at Riiladelphia's City Tavern on Sep-
tember 19, revealing a $400,000 college scholarship program from
Philadelphia National Bank to celebrate its 175th anniversary.
The program, open to high school students from this area who will
attend one of 30 participating colleges next fall, was announced by
PNB Chairman G. Morris Dorrance, Jr. Delaware Valley College is
one of the participants.
City Tavern is where Philadelphia National Bank was formed 175
years ago.
The mysterious Giftbox, which "flew" into Penn's Landing Sept. 6
and then toured the five-county Greater Philadelphia area for two
weeks, was wheeled into the cobblestone courtyard in Dock Street
behind City Tavern before a gathering of civic, business and aca-
demic leaders.
Dorrance recounted the beginnings of the financial institution at the
historic Old Philadelphia location and then asked PNB guards to un-
lock the Giftbox. They first removed an oversized check for
$400,000, which Dorrance said represented a gift to the people of
Greater Philadelphia.
The guards next pulled an oversized "document" from the 12-foot
box which Dorrance said represented 50 four-year scholarships to be
awarded young people of the area who will enter 30 local colleges in
the fall of 1979.
Forty-five of the scholarships will be presented to the youth of the
community and five to sons and daughters of PNB employees, he
continued.
Each scholarship is worth $8,000. Six thousand dollars ($1,500 a
year) will go to the recipient's college for his educational expenses.
Another two thousand dollars ($500 a year) will go to his college for
unrestricted purposes.
Dorrance said brochures describing the program and containing
scholarship applications are available at PNB's 73 branch offices.
Before revealing the contents of the giftbox, Dorrance said the deci-
sion to offer a scholarship program was based on PNB's long-time
involvement svith programs designed to motivate and develop the
area's youth.
Dorrance concluded with the announcement that the Giftbox is
being donated to the Second Macedonia Church Cominunity Service
Center in the OIney section of Philadelphia for use as a children's
playhouse. PNB is involved in an experimental early reading pro-
gram at the service center.

AGGIES DROP SECOND 44 - 21
The Aggies suffered their second straight defeat at the hands of
Moravian College. The first play from scrimmage resulted in a 63
yard run by Fred Herbine down to the six yard line. One play later,
Bob Meyer scored from the six. The extra point conversion was good
giving Moravian a 7-0 lead. Within a span of two minutes Bob Meyer
again scored from 17 yards and from 42 yards extending their lead
to 21-0 at the end of the first quarter.
Two interceptions led to a field goal and a touchdown handing
Moravian a 31-0 half-time lead.
In the third quarter, the Aggies offense came together with Pete
Albano scoring from the two capping a 59 yard drive. The two point
conversion failed.
Late in the third quarter, sophomore lineman Frank Velucci re-
covered a fumble on the Moarvian 16 yard line. On the second play
from scrimmage, sophomore quarterback Tom Kenny threw to Phil
Boob for the Aggie's second touchdown. The two point conversion
was good. Then, Moravian scored again with a 63 yard run giving
them a 38-1 4 lead.
In the fourth quarter, Moravian scored again with a 17 yard run
increasing their lead to 44-14. The Aggies, still battling back, scored
when Ron Haraka passed to Jim Yazujian for the final touchdown.
Lenard Conrad converted the extra point.
In the final recap, the Aggies came out on top in statistics, but made
too many turnovers to win the ballgame.
EXTRA POINTS - This weekend, Parent's Day, is the opening cere-
mony for the James Work Memorial Stadium. A good enthusiastic
turn out by students and faculty members might be what the Aggies
need to get on the winning track. Last week's statistics were good. A
good turnout could spur the Aggies on to VICTORY.

NORTHEAST AFFILIATE FORMED
Undergraduate students attending the 1978 Annual joint Regional
Meeting ratified a Constitution and By-Laws and elected officers for
their new student organization. The main purpose of this organiza-
tion is to provide a channel of communication whereby information
of mutual interest may be exchanged between the various member
chapters and between the member chapters and the NED-ADSA and
NES-ASAS. It will also attempt to acquaint students with the scope
purposes and programs of the ASAS and ADSA while introducing
them to the leaders of the animal, dairy and allied industries. The
organization will aid in developing leadership and will promote
scholarship among students interested in the dairy and livestock
industries.
The first project of this group is a Job Opportunity Booklet. This
booklet will contain the results of a survey of the dairy and livestock
industry in the Northeast and the employment opportunities avail-
able therein. They hope to expand this program to include an inter-
view or contact workshop during the Regional Meetings.
Please provide your support to this young and growing organization.
The officers of the Northeast Student Affiliate Division are:
President Donna Marion Penn State University
Vice President
Secretary
Officer-at-large
Paul Tomasset

LETTERS
I wish to acknowledge the receipt of a letter from N. Jordan regard-
ing an electronic security system for the library. I cannot print an
appropriate response at this time because of a lack of knowledge of
this particular situation. I will be interviewing people from this
school and from another school (one who chose to use the eledtronic
system) to determine for myself the relative need for such a device.
Until next week, please feel confident that I share your concern and
that I will do my best for you and the other students who use our
library.

ary. This will be an opportunity to see some of Audubon's original
artwork and the environment which inspired it.
The trip will be lead by Ed Graham, curator of the museum. The
general public is invited, and those planning to attend are advised to
bring binoculars.
The group will meet in the Sanctuary parking lot which is located at
the end of the driveway at the intersection of Pualing and Audubon
Roads in Audubon, Montgomery County.
FASCINATION WITH THE SEA
The new marine painting exhibition at the Brandywine River Mu-
seum, "Sights of the Sea," reveals a variety of relationships between
the artist and the sea and a common fascination for the subject. It
begins with the "father of American illustration," Howard Pyle.
The subject of Pyle's first story was Chlncoteague Island, and Re-
hoboth Beach, Del., was a favorite theme throughout the artist's
life. All of his well-known paintings and sketches of pirates and
adventures on the high seas, several of which were later collected in
"Howard Pyle's Book of Pirates," were painted on that coastline,
then still wild and romantic.
Pyle's students at Wilmington and Chadds Ford shared his enthusi-
asm for the sea. Frank Schoonover, better known for his paintings of
Western adventure, also portrayed pirates and sea battles. Stanley
Arthurs, the noted historical illustrator, painted sensitive seascapes
of the beaches he visited with Pyle and fellow students.
William Aylward, another Pyle student, devoted most of his life to
maritime illustration and became widely known for his paintings of
naval battles. He wrote and illustrated the book, "Ships and How to
Draw Them."
Anton Otto Fischer, a German painter who later became the official
war artist for the U.S. Coast Guard, studied briefly with Pyle, and is
known for the illustrated account, "Focs'le Days," of his experi-
ences aboard a square rigger,
Clifford Ashley, whose book "The Yankee Whaler" contains inter-
esting accounts of the last days of the American whaling fleet, is
probably the most nautical of the Pyle students. Born in the New
England whaling town of New Bedford, Ashley sailed and painted
the sea all his life, once serving for six weeks on a whaling vessel to
gain first hand knowledge of the trade for a magazine article. Best
known for "The Ashley Book of Knots," his ambition was to pro-
duce painting and illustrations that would "satisfy both the sailor
and the artist."
The Wyeths, N.C., Andrew, Jamie and Carolyn, have carried Pyle's
interest in marine subjects to the third and fourth generation. N.C.
Wyeth, the most famous of Pyle's students, early acquired a summer
home in Port Clyde, Maine, and his children and grandchildren, all of
whom summered in Maine, inherited his love of the sea.
John McCoy, who married N.C. Wyeth's daughter Ann, is also
known for his paintings of the Maine Coast, where he spends his
summers at Spruce Head, near the Wyeth home at Port Clyde. In
contrast to Pyle's and N.C, Wyeth's dramatic renditions of pirates
and naval battles, McCoy's works are quiet and reflective, mirroring
the mysterious, brooding quality of Maine's rocks, trees and sky,
Jamie Wyeth has gone further to sea than any of the family before
him. His home is on Monhegan Island, twenty miles off the coast.
His work in oils and tempera often depicts animals and objects
found on Monhegan and reveals a great deal of personal involvement
with his Maine home. , -
Pyle published his first sea story in 1877, The work of his students
since that time, witnessed by the Brandywine's exhibition, testifies
to the sea's continuing power to inspire successive generations of
artists.
The new fall show examines some 60 illustrations and paintings by
Pyle, his students, and members of the Wyeth family. Included are
Andrew Wyeth's intimate views of the Maine coast, and many of
Jamie Wyeth's paintings of rocky Monhegan Island. The exhibition
runs through November 19.
Brandywine River Museum, located on U.S. 1 in Chadds Ford, is
open daily from 9 30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Guided tours are available
to groups by reservation.
SPORTS:
HARRIERS NOW 3 AND 4
by Paul Stanziale
The Del Val Cross Country team won two out of three in a triple
meet, beating Wilks and Albright, but losing to Philadelphia Textile.
The leading runners for Delaware Valley were Matt Hengle, Vic
Frey, Bruce Murphy, Chip Cowher and Freshman Gene Doyle. Also
scoring for the first time this season were Russ Rising and Joe
Gilbert.
The Harriers had a slow start at 0-2. Last week they experienced
their first win of the season bringing their record to 1-3. Now
momentum seems to be gaining with this week's record of 3 and 4.
WOMEN'S FIELD HOCKEY 0-2 RECORD IS DECEIVING
by Paul Stanziale
The Delaware Valley Women's Field Hockey team lost their first
two games to the Muhlenberg Mules and the Ursinus Bears,
These two games do not reflect the quality of this team. The indi-
vidual performances of the members of this team give reason to
believe they will start winning. For those who doubt it, come out
and watch. Excitement is guaranteed!
COMMUTER CORNER

space with news, views, features, and complaints. We welcome all
suggestions, comments, or articles. If you have something to say,
write it down and submit it to us. Since most commuters feel they

DORM LIFE
by Tom Urn rath
This past week has succeeded in bringing night
life in ceruin dorms to a virtual standstill. Otherwise
scholarly students sat huddled around flickering TV sets
each night. All thoughts were focused on one program:
baseball.
Work accumulated like a tumbling avalanche on
dust-smothered desks. Reading assignments cried for
die-hard Yankees and Phillies enthusiasts and their respec-
tive enemies. But the texts were merely thrown an occa-
sional, guilt-ridden glance. Exams and lab quizzes loomed
ominously on a cloudy horizon, but they were secondary
to a cool October night, a horsehide ball, and a stadium of
explosive spectators. The Empirical Formula was
forced to wait as the fever pitch of pennant time per-
formed Its entrancing work.
Yes, the annual slugfest of October inflicted a
temporary change on many students, allowing their true
characters to be exposed. The dogmatic Yankees and
Phillies fans were the obvious majority. Like six foot
lemmings they migrated through the halls after each
game, bellowing "We're number one!" or something to
that effect. Each night early sleepers were suddenly jolted
to consciousness by supporters of these teams, who
engaged in verbal warfare with Royals and Dodgers fans.
It must be pointed out that the latter were usually Royals
and Dodgers fans only because the Yankees and Phillies
took divisional titles over the Red Sox and Pirates.
As if this were not bewildering enough, a third group
confused things further by squatting in front of TV sets
and cheering for the team that held the lead, or at least
had the momentum on its side. They were staunch,
lifetime Royals fans at 8:30 p.m. last Tuesday night. At
precisely 9:00 p.m. they hollered with each Yankee base
hit
And, of course, there were also those still in mourn-
ing over the New York Mets.
Dorm life continues to experience this annual
phenomona, and will apparently do so until the passing of
the World Series next week.
SENIOR
HAPPENINGS
The class picnic on Sunday, September 17 at Oak
Terrace Country Club had a turnout of about sixty
people. A great time was had by ail who attended.
Eastern Group Tours has been chosen as the agent
for the senior class trip and the destinations have been
finalized. Paradise Island, New Orleans, a short trip and
possibly Jamaica are the choices which will be voted upon
sometime toward the end of October in the cafeteria. I
hope everyone will come out and voice their opinion
when it counts. The short trip will be decided upon by
those people who are interested, providing that there is
enough interest.
The class is also sponsoring the Halloween Dance on
October 27th featuring 'Springfield'. All those who come
dressed in a costume will receive '/j price off their ticket
price, and cash prizes will be awarded for the best cos-
tumes. So try to make it over to the gym with some Hal-
loween spirit.
HOAGIE
SALE
The Weightlifting Club will hold an Italian Hoagie
Sale Monday, October 16th, 1978 beginning at 7:30 p.m.
Hoagies may be purchased in Room 105 in the Ulman

BIG
SHOT
by Bill Purcell
On September 29 & 30, Billy Joel was at the Spec-
trum in Philadelphia. He has been touring to promote his
"Stranger" album. He played to a full house of old and
new fans. The stage was elaborately set with deep red and
light blue plush carpeting, with instruments set all about,
including two pianos at opposite sides of the stage. The
lighting was extensive and dramatic which added to the
total effect. Opening night he appeared on stage wearing a
suit, tie and tennis sneakers as usual. His opening song was
the title track "The Stranger" which was followed by
many old and new favorites evenly disbursed throughout
the evening.
About the mid-point of the concert, Billy Joel
announced the arrival of his latest album "S2nd Street",
due to be out In about two weeks. Songs on this album
include: Staletto, Honesty, and an up and coming hit
"Big Shot" in which Billy doesn't play the piano until
the very end of the song. Instead, he belts out the song
and prances about the stage with white lights only adding
to the effect of his accusation "you had to be a Big
Shot!"
Billy Joel played twenty-six songs in a two and a
half hour span, closing with encores of Miami 2017,
CapUin Jack, Say Goodbye to Hollywood and, during
the very last song, Billy Joel was alone on stage with
only himself, the piano, and a spot light.

AUDIO CORNER
by Glenn Michalak
This column is for those beginning audiophiles or
even those who just want to know the basics of high
fidelity. Qudstions will be enteruined, as well as any
problems that are solvable within the bailiwick of the
columnist.
This week's question, "What is power in an ampli-
fier."
Power is an all encompassing term, and is often mis-
leading. In terms of physics, power is equal to volts multi-
plied by amperes. But in relation to audio, power is ex-
pressed either as watts or decibels. This seems to confuse
the issue further.
A decibel is a relative unit of sound measurement. A
difference of one decibel means twice the sound pressure,
or how hard the air is moved by the speaker cone. One
decibel is^the lowest level that the human ear can detect.
110 decibels (db) is the sound level of a thunderclap, and
1 30 db is the level of the average rock concert. Irreparable
damage occurs to the ear at susuined levels of 85 db+ for
one-half hour or more, Now, what does THIS mean?
Well, for years, audiophiles have used watts as a
measurement of power in amplifiers, but now decibles is
being used more and more, as it is more accurate and
easier to use, much like the metric system. Which term is
better? For those audiophiles used to watts, then of
course, It is easier. Most manufacturers today supply
watts and decibels in their equipment specifications.
Whichever you find easier, use it. The trend, however, is
to decibels.
Next week: "Gee, your stereo is loud, but what
group is that?"

COMMUTER
CORNER
The parking lot arrangement is crazy! Resident
students use the front half and their cars sit there all
week (some even longer). Meanwhile, the people who
drive to school every day have to park in the back and
walk the entire length of the lot in snow, wind and rain.
A suggestion has been made that two different
parking stickers be issued, one for residents, one for
commuters and that the residents be assigned spaces in
the rear of the lot. This would make space in the front
available for the people who drive daily. Thus making
their walk a little shorter and their day a little brighter.

AGGIES LOSE
AGAIN & AGAIN
by Seb Cassaro
Parent's Day saw the Aggies lose yet another game,
this time to Albright, joe Peliigrini and Dennis Ziemba
combined for 200 yards rushing as Albright literally ran
all over DVC. Near the end of the first quarter, Albright
quarterback Bill DeNichois plunged in from the one to
give Albright a 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter, Dennis Ziembo ran 51 yards
and Bill DeNichois scored his second touchdown to give
Albright a commanding 21-0 lead. After a fumble re-
covery, DVC scored tls only touchdown when Tom
Kenny hit James Yazujian to make the score 21-6.
The second half saw much of the same action as
Albright dominated on the ground and in the air. Except
for exceptional play by linebacker Tom Willey and punter
Steve Fornoff, the Aggies were dormant to say the least.
In the fourth quarter, Ziemba and Devine ran for touch-
downs to end the scoring and the game 35-6.
Recapping the game, Albright had constant success
on the ground gaining good yardage at will. Some tale-
telling sutistics are Albright 419 yards, DVC 58; First
downs were Albright 27, DVC 7.
During the most recent game, the Aggies bowed to
undefeated Lycoming 21-7. Lycoming dominated the
first half taking an early lead 21-0.
In the second half, the Aggies came together by
holding Lycoming scoreless and scored a touchdown
themselves. But, again, as in the past, the Aggies organ-
ized themselves a little too late, and lost yet another.
WILKES
TIES D.V.C.
by Paul Stanziale
The DVC Women's Field Hockey team had to settle
for a 2-2 tie when Wilkes scored with 2:23 remaining in
the contest.
There were fine performances from the Del Val
ladies, especially Annette White who played excellent
offense and defense.
Ten minutes into the game, Irene Costa scored for
the Aggies and the defense remained tough holding the
score to a 1-0 lead at the half.
The second half opened with a critical save by DVC's
Gail Fuicoiy, and with 15 minutes elapsed, the Aggies
took a 2-0 lead on a goal by Mary Ann Horst.
Wilkes Immediately struck back closing the gap, 2-1.
DVC warded off three fierce offensive penetrations
by Wilkes before the opposition tied the game.
The Aggies' record now stands at 0-3-1.

DORM LIFE
by Tom Umrath
Living in a dorm, one has ample opportunity
to witness diverse methods of study and concen-
tration. Most students prepare for tests In conven-
tional ways, slouched In a chair with book and
notes in hand. But htere are those who engage In
their studies in manners that are truly worthy of
recognition.
The most amusing are students who adhere to
their "How to Study" manuals like a patriot to the
constitution. Following chapters such as "Proper
Time For Study", "Proper Position For Study",
and "Proper Weather For Study" to the letter,
they can generally be found in an eternal search
for nooks and crannies as tranquil as a cemetary.
In contrast are those who study away while
the stereo slowly proceeds to loosen the plaster on
the celling. They dwell under the presumption that
"music helps me think." Their concentration Is
rivalled only by that of the TV bug, who. In an
effort to catch all of his favorite shows, feverishly
attempts to cram In 1,00 pages of notes during
commercials.
Lastly there are the tree sitters. They have
been encouraged by college catalogue covers,
which usually depict students cheerily smiling over
economics texts as they learn beneath a giant oak
on the campus green. So the tree sitters have taken
the Initiative to sit among the horsechestnut shells
and ginko seeds themselves.
The results of these study methods are ques-
tionable. Undoubtable, there are only a handful
of people who can concentrate under any condi-
tions and still "ace" the exam. Whatever their
secrets are, I wish I were one of them.

LETTERS
Dear Editor,
Last week I was In the library looking for a
book by a specific author (an expert in the area
of my seminar topic) and I found that the book
had been stolen. Looking through the lists of
magazine articles, I found an article I hoped I
could use, but the Issue I needed (plus several
others) had been stolen. Now I hear that the
school feels that the cost of books stolen does not
balance out with the cost of installing an electron-
ic alarm system to protect those books. Does the
school think books are only worth the numbers
printed on the cover? This Is a school - that is
supposed to be a library!
N. Jordan
c^ZP
When I received your letter, I, like many other
students, immediately jumped to the conclusion
that the library did need an electronic book-theft
detection system. I made some calculations with
some information supplied to me by Mrs. Shook,
the head librarian, and the student handbook.
The apparent dollar loss (and let me emphasize
apparent) seemed to more than offset the expense
of an alarm system, but a few ideas from the
results of a study conducted recently changed
that.
First, our library has a very low book loss rate
compared to the national average for college librar-
ies. Over a two-year period, our library lost only
around two percent of its collection compared to
the average eight to nine percent annually for
other schools. This could very well be due to the
fact that the campus is smaller and more person-
able than the larger schools.
Secondly, whether anyone has noticed or not,
the library has made an attempt to reduce theft
rates. As a trial program, the library has Increased
its staff by an additional member so as to have
supervision in the periodical area continuously.
The effect will be analyzed at the end of the
school year.
Thirdly, the library was not architectually de-
signed for the installation of an alarm system.
Because of this, detection equipment would have
to be external. Most of these involve a turnstyle
which would hamper the mobility of the handi-
capped, a consideration which is now important in
any new facilities on campus as prescribed by law.
Fourthly, if students would use a little bit of
thoughtfulness, we would not even have the prob-
lem at hand. Many book thefts are not deliberate.
A moment of not thinking can cause a person to
walk out without signing out a book, but t am not
denying that there are deliberate thefts. If these
people would put themselves in a position of
someone needing reference materials which were
stolen, they may realize the gross discourtesy that
they are commiting in addition to the actual value
of the theft.
Please be aware that this is not a dead Issue
with the administration. Mrs. Work has assured me
that if the situation gets to the extent that it war-
rants an electronic system, the school will indeed
Invest In one. We have now, however, a situation
in which our book losses are lower than what the
best electronic detection system can effect In one
of the "average" libraries. It Is therefore up to you
to keep It that way.

AUDIO CORNER
by Glenn Michalak
Last week this column discussed the differ-
ence between watts and decibels. This week's topic
was supposed to be on distortion in amplifiers, but
due to an oversight, this week's column is devoted
to more on power.
Whenever the prospective audiophile goes into
his or her local audio-supermarket (which most of
them are), they are confronted by a vast array of
components to choose from, and each has a multi-
tude of specifications. One of these associated
with power is RMS. The other commonly used
term is peak power. These two specifications are
important ones, and when interpreted correctly,
can mean a lot.
RMS, for Real Mean Square, is a function of a
sine wave over a continuous period of time. It
gives an average of how much power an amplifier
will delTver. It is usually expressed as so many
watts per channel RMS. It does not tell what the
maximum capabilities of the amplifier are. Peak
power, however, will tell the audio-phile what the
maximum capability of the amplifier is, and is ex-
pressed as so many watts per channel peak power.
These tow numbers can mean a good deal.
Since the Federal Trade Commission requires that
all specifications on high-fidelity components be
minimum, many components are under-rated. A
50-watt receiver, for example, may be putting out
55 watts RMS, and up to 60-65 watts peak power.
This means that if your speakers are rated for 55
watts RMS, you may find your speaker cones im-
bedded in the opposite wall. When choosing speak-
ers and amplifiers, make sure the speakers can
handle the probable peaks of power of the ampli-
fier.
COMMUTER CORNER
in response to the many queries about the
price of lunch in the Segal Hall Snack Bar, we have
looked into the situation for commuter lunches at
the David Levin Dining Hall. Most people do not
realize that lunch is available for ALL students at
the dining hall. For a mere $1.75 (payable at the
door) a hearty lunch can be yours.
A typical menu includes a salad, choice of
main courses (seconds, if you want 'em) desert
and beverages including coffee, a variety of soft
drinks and milk. Nutritious, somewhat delicious,
and you can't beat the price.
POWER TO SHARE
by jim Magnus
To help this college publication meet a
broadening range of appeals, it has been suggested
that a column be submitted regularly to encourage
the reader to re-evaluate his role as a student at
Delaware Valley College, whether as a member of
a sport, team, club, or an organization, and as a
person. It is hoped that this approach will act as an
outreach to those who may be confused or frus-
trated by such matters as studies, habits, occupa-
tions, parents, friends, and the future. Few people
live such a peaceful and perfect life that there is
not some time when they find themselves "lost in
the blues," Realizing and sharing the burden are
crucial components in developing the solution.
Please feel free to share any questions, burdens,
and thoughts with me by way of the Post Office
window. Please address them to: Share

losses with its 23 to 38 victory over Moravian
College. Senior Captain Vic Frey recorded his first
victory of the season with a 29:33 clocking over
the rain soaked 5.2 mile Del Val Course. Moravian
College which has just reinstituted its cross
country pr<^ram this year copped only second and
third place out of the top 10 places. Other Aggies
finishing in the top ten were Chip Cowher fourth,
Bruce Murphy fifth, Matt Hengel sixth. Gene
Doyle seventh, Chris Bradley eighth, Russ Rising
ninth, and Gil Schieber tenth.
The Harriers next meet Kings College and
Spring Garden College next Saturday at home.
This will be Homecoming Day, and the race will
start and finish in the James Work Memorial
Stadium during the football game.
LADIES IMPROVE
On Tuesday, October 10, the Delaware Valley
Women's Field Hockey team experienced their
first win of the season by crushing Drew Univer-
sity in Madison, New jersey, 6-1.
The first goal for the aggies was by freshman
center, Donna Cassano. Mid way through the first
half, Drew tied the score but this was all the Del
Val women would allow. Miss Ca^ano followed
the Drew score, netting her second goal of the
game, and with 1 seconds remaininf in the half,
Brenda Wolf made it Del Val 3, Drew 1 .
The second half proved to be fatal to Drew
with two early goals by the outstanding center
halfback, Annette White. Rightwing sophomore.
Sue Ann Leed, a former hockey player for
Cocalico High School, Denver, Pa., compounded
the lethal dose by scoring the sixth and final goal
for DVC.
And on rainy Saturday, October 14, the Lary
Aggies controlled the offensive fiow of their game
against the Penn State Ogantz Nittanty Lions, but
were only able to attain a 1-1 tie. The lone DVC
score came from Donna Cassano.
The team has three home games remaining.
October 19, 21, and 25 against Scranton, Lycom-
ing, and Fairleigh Dickinson respectively. Put your
bodies on the sidelines and offer some school
spirit.
AGGIES ALMOST
by Seb Cassaro
On a rain-soaked field and bad weather most
of the day, the Aggies lost their fifth straight to
the tough Vikings of Upsala 10-6. However, the
Aggies played exceptional defense and rose to the
occasion time after time. It was the offense who
could not capitalize on good field position and
consequently, not enough point scoring.
The first half was relatively close, which pro-
duced no scoring. In the second half. Bill Mullen
ran 49 yards giving the Aggies a 6-0 lead. After a
fumble recovery, Upsala scored to take the lead
7-6. Upsala recovered another fumble and ended
the scoring with a field goal 1 0-6.
In the final analysis, the Aggie defense did the
job but, the offense failed to put the needed
points on the scoreboard.
The formal dedication of the James Work
Memorial Stadium will take place on Homecoming
Saturday, the 21st.
EXTRA POINTS
by Paul Stanziale
Extra Points The two remaining home games
are against FDU Madison and Susquehanna on
Homecoming. Both of these teams have not won a
game. Both have considerably worse statistics than
DVC. Guess what might happen? Don't miss these
games. The stands should be full and cheering.
Two DVC players have made the top ten in
the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Con-
ference. Dave Jefferson is second in receiving and
Steve Furnoff is fourth in punting.

by Paul Sunziale
This year signs were posted around the campus,
"Homecoming is Great in '78" and indeed it was with our
Footbail, Soccer, Cross Country, and Womens Fieid
Hockey teams all competing at home last Saturday,
October 21.
Starting on Friday, at 7 30 p.m. there was a pep
rally in front of the Agriculture Building. Speeches were
heard from coaches and alumni. The candidates for home-
coming queen were introduced and the new queen Caria
Boyd was announced.
Most people after the pep rally went in small groups
and partied while others worked on preparing the floats
for the parade.
Saturday morning opened up at 10:00 with the
homecoming parade through Doylestown to the college.
At 11:00 the soccer team started on their way to their
first win while the field hockey team tied Lycoming.
These two events were followed by the formal dedication
of the lames Work Memorial Sudium with special guest
Don Tollefson of Channel 6 News who was the Master of
Ceremonies. Later the Cross Country team attained a
double win and the football team provided an exciting
game but were unable to win. .
The remainder of the day was spent studying by
some and celebrating the wins by most. Over all, the Del
Val campus displayed more spirit than it has in the past
few years.
"Mention honey bee to the average person and the
first thought usually Is - it stings! Poor honey bee! She
(all honey-gathering worker bees are female, of course) is
one of the least understood and appreciated creatures in
the world today. Yet it would be hard to find one so littie
which has contributed so much to man's development and
well-being as the honey bee." if you would like to learn
how the honey bee operates, about honey and Its products
and about the basics of caring for a hive join tfie Apiary
Society. The bee house (across the tracks behind New
Dorm) is usually buzzing with activity as club members
label honey, malce ice cream, extract honey from our own
hives (if available) and prepare for A-Day. Each year the
club holds a banquet where more than honey is served,
and leaves the hive to venture on a field trip.
if you're not into buzzing with the bevy you can

Dorm rooms often seem plain and unfinished. House
plants can give the room a more lived in appearance, how-
ever, conditions are usually less than ideal for healthy
growth. Lack of light Is often a major problem.
Plants tolerant of shade (North windowslli) include
Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema), Pothos (Scindapsus), Ivy
(Hedera Helix), Philodendron (several species). Ferns
(Pterls and others), Snake plant (Sansevieria), and Grape
Ivy (Cissus). Even these plants need a little sunlight for
best growth.
For a sunny windowsill, plants such as Rebutia
(several species of this cactus), Crassula (several species),
Peperomia (many species), Oleander (Nerium), Screw Pine
(PandanusJlg Parsley Aralia (Poiyscias), and Crown of
Thorns (Euphorbia) will thrive. Many species of Begonia,
Haworthia, and Aloe will grow well If given some sunlight.
So, for a homier room, plants are just the thing and
you can purchase many of the species mentioned at local
Garden Centers.
COMMUTER
CORNER
We received the following letter;
Dear Commuter Corner,
I don't think enough consideration is given to the
commuting student. At the beginning of the fall semester
there were insufficient book store hours. DVC doesn't
take into consideration that a commuter can't be on
campus all the time. I had the experience of having the
door of the book store slammed in my face because i was
a minute late. The houn were inadequate - being brief
and at awkward times of the day.
Also the used book store was of little help It never
had the specific times posted, only what day It would be
open on.
Signed,
David Maurer
REPLY
Dear Mr. Maurer,
We checked with Mr. Woiford who is in charge of
the book store about your complaint. His reply was
"there is a schedule, we go by the schedule, we recognize
there will always be complaints." We then went to the
book store to check the hours and they seemed more than
adequate. The first two days of the semester, the hours
were 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. For the following 3 weeks the hours
were 11:15-12:15, 4 30-9:00. Thereafter, the hours were
Wed. 9-1 and 2-4:30.
As far as the used book store goes, It is run by APO
(not the school), it is a club activity and is run on a volun-
teer basis.
If you still feel the hours for the regular book store
are not addquate, contact your Commuter Rep., Meg
Snyder.

by )lm Magnus
As leaves abscise and tumble ritualistically to their
deterioration, it is evident that time sails on. Each of us,
be we freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors, are
approaching the time when we no longer will have college
to keep us occupied. Many of us head on. it Is a comfort
to know, however, that we can regulate the force of this
Impact if we uke more than a passive stance.
The phase suting that college should be the best
four years of one's life does not necessarily mean that It
Is a time of continuous fun and games. We must learn to
budget our time and separate the work from the play. It
must be a pl-actical budget that allows plenty of time for
work. It is Important to accept the responsibilities we
encounter, with a determined heart. If we put off labor
today, we will have no fruit for tomorrow. It has been the
desire of many to "goof-off" today and relish success
tomorrow. This is rarely possible. The most unlearned
plowman knows that In order to reap the harvest tomor-
row, he must cultivate and sow the seed today. We can
not be continually reaping the harvest. One of the most
difficult disciplines to conquer is learning to work in the
present and look forward to a successful and well-struc-
tured future.
Accept the responsibilities of today, in order to meet
the challenges of tomorrow. If you have any thoughts,
questions, or burdens to offer, please leave them at the

SPORTS:
SUSQUEHANNA 21,
AGGIES 20
by Seb Cassaro
Homecoming '78 started out with the final dedica-
tion of the lames Work Memorial Stadium. This great
event was enhanced with beautiful weather, and the larg-
est crowd of the season, which was the most enthusiastic
I might add.
The main event saw the Aggies open up Impressively
against Susquehanna. In their first possession and seven
plays later, Ron Haraka plunged in from the one to give
the Aggies an early 7-0 lead. Two minutes later, Steve
Furnoff faked a punt and tossed a 38-yard touchdown
pass to Phil Boob making the score 14-0. Susquehanna
closed the gap with a touchdown, but missed the extra
point to end the first quarter 14-6. The only scoring of
the second quarter was by Susquehanna knotting the
score at 14-14.
In the fourth quarter, after an Aggie interceptton by
Keith Sipple, joe Laumakis rambled 80 yards to put the
Aggies out in front 20-14. However, the extra point
failed which would later prove to be a deciding factor.
And later did come. With 2:36 left to play, Susquehanna
scored the deciding touchdown, and converted the extra
point for their first victory of the season 21-20.
SPECIAL NOTE: Senior runningback )0E LAUMAKIS
set a new school, single game rushing record of 200 yards
on 22 carries. Let's hear It for Joe and all the Aggies.
They haven't given up; have you?
by Paul Stanzlale
Last Thursday, October 19, the field hockey team
remained on the winning track by defeating the Scranton
Uniwrsity Royals, 3-1. Brenda Wolf and Donna Cassano
provided the first-half goals for DVC to make the score 2-
2-0. In the second half, the Roylas' Ronnie Pratt tighten-
ed the score with 9:33 remaining but a shot credited to
Annette White which deflected off a Royal's stick final-
ized the scoring making It 3-1. The win was the first In
over three years on Alumni Field by any A^ie team.
In Saturday's event against Lycoming, the Home-
coming spirit was with goalie Linda Budrewicz when she
stopped what could have been the winning goal for
Lycoming. The defenses of both DVC and Lycoming were
exceptional allowing just one goal each with the only
Aggie score coming from Sue Ann Leed early in the first
half.
SOCCER WINS
by Paul Stenziaie
The first Del Val SoCcer team win was celebrated last
Saturday, October 21 (Homecoming) when John Fucoly
and Chris Witson combined to give the Aggies a 2-0 vic-
tory over Lycoming. November 4 is the final home game
for the team against Wilkes College.
C.C 6-6
by Paul Stanzlale
The magic of Homecoming '78 was carried over to
the Cross Country team when they evened their record at
6-6 by beating Kings and Spring Garden College before a
crowd of over 3000 DVC fans. There was a dramatic
finish for first in the 5.2 mile race when Del Val capuin,
Vic Frey pulled away in the last 600 yards to finish 6
seconds ahead of Kings' African exchange student,
Francis Awanya. Other top 10 Del Val Harrier finishers
were Bruce Murphy third. Gene Doyle fifth. Matt Hengle
sixth, Chip Cowher seventfi, Joe Gilbert eights, Chris
Bradley ninth, and Rich Weidman tenth. The final scores
were DVC 15 Spring Garden 50; DVC 22 Kings 39. Next
Saturday the Aggies meet Swathmore and Muhlenberg at
Muhlengerg College in Allentown.

DVC WRESTLERS
WIN
Jeff Bartholomew. DVC's 6*3" 290 lb heavyweight
wrestler, took 1st Place at the Middle Atlantic AAU
Championships last weekend at Lower Dauphin High
School in Harrisburg.
Jeff Is only a sophomore and already has proved that
he Is one of the best In the Middle Atlantic Conference.
As a freshman Jeff had a dual meet record of 15-2-0 and
took 2nd place last year in the MAC. Coach Marshall feels
Jeff will be an outstanding wrestler if he continues to
dedicate himself to the sport.
Also, Mike Danis, DVC MAC Champion last year at
167 moved up a weight class and placed second at 177.
Mike will be back at 167 for the regular season. It was not
a bad showing for the DVC wrestlers being that only 3
wrestlers from DVC entered the tournament.

GOVERNMENT
GLIMPSE
by lim Magnus
The Student Government holds weekly meetings in
the S.G. Room in Work Hall. Many students are not aware
of this, in spite of the good publicity. It would be to your
benefit if you were to attend a meeting as a trial. You will
find that the students involved take an active stand towards
the solution of any problem put before them. They can
accomplish an incredible amount of service for the school
body. Take advantage of this energetic toot by sharing
your suggestions and complaints with your class repre-
sentatives. They are there to serve you. Don't relinquish
the opportunities you have to use the tools that you
elected into office.
Shown from Left to Right are Joe Miale, Mike Ridge,
Les LombardI, and Stan SItarskI, who participated In
the opening day of the J 00 mile RUN.

by Thom Umrath
Perhaps the most influential movie to hit campus
this year is the madcap comedy "Animal House." Al-
though the true aesthetic value of this film is highly
debatable, it is safe to say that it has persuaded stu-
dents to do some unusual things.
The most noticable change has been the sudden
upswing in white-robed figures wearing imitation olive
wreaths in their hair. Many people considered it the
ultimate oddity to see an ill-clad hippie in the '60's
shouting "Peace! Peace! Peace!" But this unusual figure
has now been replaced by the increasingly popular chan-
ter of "To-gal To-ga! To-gal", who insists on wearing only
a sheet and sandals in the thirty degree night.
Another unusual occurrence which the film helped
to spur is the exposure of man's primal instinct to hurl
objects at his fellow human. This was made apparent in
a recent outbreak of warfare which took place in the
cafeteria. For several minutes the air became a swirling
sea of dinner rolls, salad, potatoes, and jello. Despite
the gravy and soda stains on their clothing, the partici-
pants emerged from the battle feeling that they had
undergone one of the greatest experiences of their lives.
Finally, "Animal House" has driven some students
to inflict bodily injury upon themselves. I speak of the
practice of flattening empty cans against one's fore-
head in a single stroke. For some reason, the performers
find this stunt even more amusing than do the spectators.
When this current obsession with "Animal House"
will stop nobody knows. What will occur in future weeks
one can only guess at. Let's just hope it stops before
students take the initiative to turn themselves into "zits."
POWER TO SHARE
by Jim Magnus
Within our own campus boundaries are many tal-
ented and gifted students. Technically and logically
speaking, each person enrolled at Delaware Valley College
of Science and Agriculture has at least one particular
gift or talent. It is not necessary to enter into the periph-
ery, and state that each human on this earth has one
or more gifts of his own. This column is focused on the
unity of the Del-Val populus. And, unity is the word to
be stressed.
If we were to pool our various skills and aptitudes
into the blender of motivation we would marvel at the
glorious results. However, it is obtaining this willing
unit that is so difficult. It could be that we are individ-
ually locked within the fallacy of limitations. Knocked
about by the mockery, and detoured by the crutches of
our friends, we are fearful of the possibility of failure. We
all know that the best solution to failure is to not get in-
volved. Because we don't get involved, nothing is ac-
complished. The key to success is involvement. You can
help your friends by^ concentrating your attention and
remarks on their good points. This will encourage them to
exercise these abilities and thereby better develop them.
An interesting thought that applies to this article is:
It's better to try and fail than to fall to try. Anon.
Do yourself a favor by stepping out of the cage of
limitations, into the garden of potentialities. Please
feel free to share any questions, burdens, and thoughts

COMMUTER CORNER THINGS TO DO:
SPORTS:
We have conducted an Investigation concerning an
earlier Commuter Comer article about the parking lot
tituatiofl.
We first spoke with Dean Tasker who directed us
to Or. Feldsteln. Dr. Feldstein informed us that the
parking lot comes under the Maintenance Department
and the Maintenance Department is under the direction
of Mrs. Work. Although Mrs. Work is in charge, Or.
Feldsteln was able to supply us with some useful Infor-
mation, v^lthout having to run all around the campus.
The information we received Is as follows. The
administration is aware of the parking problem here on
campus. The problem is being looked Into, (Fanustic)
There are no immediate plans to improve the parking
facilities. Why? Two big reasons, the first of course
being money and the second being location. The ad-
ministration Is supposedly looking Into a location for
a second student parking lot that would not marr the
appearance of our campus.
The suggestion of group designated parking, (on
campus In the rear, off campus in the front), was pro-
posed to Dr. Feldstein and a student government mem-
ber. Dr. Feldstein said he would look into that type of
system. The student government member showed no In-
terest. After all, they only represent us.
According to the October 23rd student gowmment
minutes, there are plans to repave the existing parking
lot Also they ask us to keep it clean. HEY STUDENT
GOVERNMENT! The commuters have no reason to buy
beer and drive all the way to DVC to leave the bottles
in the lot. It ain't our mess; we have to drive throu^
it every day.

AUDUBON EXPLORES
AGGIES FALL SHORT
by Seb Cassaro
The Aoies traveled to lunlata hoping to obtain
their first win, and to knock Juniata out of conten-
tion for the MAC Championship.
Juniata struck first when DeWayne Rideout ran four
yards capping a 45 yard touchdown drive. In the second
quarter Juniata exploded for two quick touchdowns. The
first a 14 yard run by Dave Headly and, the second a
6 yard run by Oe Wayne Rideout. Juniata took a com-
manding lead 21-0. Late in the quarter John Ledva re-
covered a fumble for O.V.C. on the Juniata 9 yard line.
Then, Ron Harada hit Divt Jefferson in the end-zone
to cut the margin to 21-7.
The second half started out to D.V.C.'s liking when
Jim Ducan recovered a fumble on the Juniata 24 yard
line. Se\«n plays later Bill Mullen plunged in from the
one to cut the lead even more 21-14. The final scoring
attempt of the pme was by D.V.C. but, an interception
cancelled their hopes as they fell short 21-14.
SPECIAL NOTES: Dave Jefferson is first in tfie Northern
Division of the MAC in receiving with 1 7 receptions for
253 yards. Bill Mullen is second in rushing with 95 carries
for 302 yards. For those who did'nt know, we are In
the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference.

On Saturday, No^^mber 4, the Bucks County
Audubon Society will sponsor a geology field trip through
the Triassic Basin, guided by Temple University professor
Bruce Thompson. The Triassic Basin, which runs diagon-
ally across Southeastern Pennsylvania, was formed during

which are well represented in Bucks County. Those in-
terested in taking advantai^ of this unique opportunity
need not be experienced, however, hammers, collecting
bags, and hand lenses can be brought if desired.
The group will meet at 8 AM In front of the Super-
Saver Market at the Doylestown Shopping Center north

The Delaware Valley CroM Country Team lost both
ends of a double dual meet 36 to 20 against Swathmore
and 31 to 24 against Muhlenberg over the 5.0 mile Muh-
lenberg course on Saturday lowering their record 6-8.
Those Aggies completing the race turned in fine per-
formances, with Bruce Murphy 4th overall, Vic Frey
7th, Chip Cowher 11th, Gene Doyle 14th, and Russ
Rising 16.
During the race, three Harriers who had figured in
the scoring of earlier meets had physical problems.
Freshman Rich Weidman had the misfortune of failing
on the cinder track during the first quarter mile of the
race. Junior Joe Gilbert who has suffered chronic leg
problems through out his running career and Matt Hengel,
top scorer for the team until injured two weeks ago,
were not able to finish the race due to their injuries.
The Harriers next meet Susquehanna University on
Wednesday followed by the Conference Championship
Meet on Saturday.
BIG MAC ATTACK
by Paul SUnziale
The Del Val lady Aggies took the field against
Falrieigh Dickinson College on October 25, at Delaware
Valley College, facing a do or die situation, to get into
the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships (M.A.C.'s).
DVC opened up with a drive and score by right wing
Sue Ann Leed but before the excitment of the first goal
wore off, Joanne King of Fairleigh tied the score after an
impressive drive. Fairleigh Dickinson scored once more
making It 2-1 at the half.
Early in the second half the Aggies offense did not
perform up to par, falling to capitalize on any scoring
opportunities. Finally with about one quarter of the
game remaining, the ladies experienced what they call
a Big MAC Atuck, (MAC being Middle Atlantic Con-
ference Championships) when Benda Wolfe assisted by
Donna Cassano gave the Aggies their third conference
tie and fourth overall tie of the season.
The tie enabled the Delaware Valley Womens Field
Hockey team to clinch second place in the Northern
Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference and a play-
off spot last Monday, October 30, against Elizabethtown
College, the first place team of the Southern Division.
If the ladies beat Elizabethtown, they will advance to
the finals held at F&M.
Also last week. In their final regular season game,
October 27 the Aggies played their first shutout of the
year against Cedar Crest College in Alientown, Pa. A fine
defensive performance by goal keeper Linda Buderwicz
coincided with scores by Brenda Wolfe, Mary Ann Horst,
and Sue Ann Leed to give the Aggies a 3-0 shutout.
Miss Leed has scored In each of the last three regular
season games.
The final regular season record for the Del Val
women is 3-3-4 for a .500 winning percentage.
SPECIAL NOTE: Senior Cindy Duton Played for final
home game for DVC.

DORM LIFE
by Tom Umrath
Sunday morning in the dorm is a time of unusual
quiet. The hall is a still, empty corridor lacking all traces
of life except for great piles of bottles, cans, and stinking
garbage heaped in front of overflowing waste baskets.
Occasionally the student may see a few souls lingering
about, who for unknown reasons, have risen at 8:30 to
visit the dining hall. By the time most have crawled out of
their beds, however, breakfast is past history. The student
stumbles into the hall as a swarm of ever present dorm
mascots, otherwise known as houseflies, slips into his
room. He heads for the shower. Then, after partially re-
covering from the night before, he is ready to face a stack
of texts and catch up on the never-ending assignments. A
radio plays softly as he stares into the future, seriously
wondering if Sunday will ever be a day of rest again.

which is during the peak of the waterfowl migration.
Beginners are welcomed along with the experienced to
take advantage of this opportunity to observe thousands
of snow geese.
Those attending will meet at the Refuge Head-
quarters at 9:00 a.m. The entrance to the Refuge is off

WITCHES' BROOMS
It's the bewitching season and witches' brooms are
flourishing at the Morris Arboretum of the University of
Pennsylvania.
These oddities of nature can be seen on hackberry
trees, larches and many conifers. Their eerie quality
probably gave them the name of witches' brooms, but
scientists found a way to use these malformations.
Because many of these sections of branches are
genetically dwarfed, scientists can clone twigs from them
to develop dwarf species of the parent plant. Examples
of this can be seen in the dwarf conifer collection at the
Arboretum in Chestnut Hill, In which several of the
specimens were propagated by this method.
A witches' broom Is a compact mass of twigs which
results from irregular growth of a tree's bud. Sometimes,
this growth is an accidental mutation; other times it is the
result of a disease.
When we see these broom-like clusters of twigs, our
imaginations take flight and we envision witches riding
across a full-mooned autumn sky. To botanists, witches'
brooms provide constant inspiration for scientific re-
search. For example, there were only 10 species of dwarf
evergreens 140 years ago. Today, they number in the
thousands; largely due to this cloning process.
In an urban or small garden, dwarfed plants are play-
ing an increasingly important role. It is through botanical
research in our arboreta that many of the oddities of the
plant world can be explained and utilized.
ATTENTION SENIORS
by lames Spindler, Yearbook Editor
There will be retakes on Senior pictures for all
Seniors who are not pleased with their proofs, did not
have an adequate number of pictures taken, did not get
their picture taken with the correct cap and gown, and
those who did not have their pictures Uken. If you are
going to have your picture retaken, do not send in the
proofs you will receive in the next couple of weeks. Keep
your eyes open for future news on retakes. Thank you

ESCAPE
The Great Manzini has accom-
plished such death defying acts
such as eKapIng from a straight-
jacket and monacles while sus-
pended upstde down from a
burning rope one mile over the
Snake River Canyon.
Manzini, who has been
acclaimed by noted Houdini
experts as the greatest escape
artist of all time, will perform
other breathtaking stunts such
as escaping from water torture
tanks, locked mall bags, guilo-
tines, an electric chair, fire eat-
ing swallowing broken glass
stopping his heart and pulse beat
plus many other tests and demon-
strations which will leave you abso-
lutely spellbound.
It's a show Houdini himself would not w»it to miss,
neither will you 1 1 Sponsored by Student Govammant.
MEALY BUGS
by Steve Silbersteln
Mealy bu^ are a common Insect pest on many
species of houseplants. Clusters of Mealy bugs appear as
white, cottony patches. They are most frequently seen on
new growth on the underddes of tfte leaves, and the
stems. However, roots are also sometimes infested. They
cause damage by sucking out the plant's sap, thereby
weakening the plant.
When just a few plants are Involved, a small paint
brush dipped in rubbing alcohol and applied to the cot-
tony patches will kill the Mealy bugs. If root Mealy bugs
are suspected, remove the soil ball from tt\t pot and ex-
amine the roots. If root Mealy bugs are found, it is best to
take cuttings and discard the original plant. On larger
numbers of plants, an aerosol insecticide spray containing
pyrethrin will provide reasonable good control. A mala-
thlon spray and dip is an effective control, although it is
usually too difficult and smelly for use indoors.
Not all plants are equally susceptible to Mealy bug
infestations. Nerve plant (Fittonia) and Coleusare among
the more susceptible species. More resistant plants include
snake plant (Sansevieria), most Brorifflllads (plants in Pine-
apple family), and Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia Splen-
dens).
it is Important to keep in mind that totally eradi-
cating Mealy bugs is almost impossible. However, these
treatments will keep Mealy bugs under control, providing
they are used regularly.

CHEMISTRY HONORS
PROGRAM
The Chemistry Department of Delaware Valley
College sponsored an honors program in "Laboratory
Techniques in Chemistry", on November 6, 1978. A
toul of 20 chemistry students from C.B. East, C.B.
West, New Hope-Solebury, William Tehnent and Penn-
ridge High Schools participated in the program.
The objectives of the program were to cooperate
with the participating high schools in the teaching of
modern applied chemistry.
The students were divided into two groups and they
participated in a total of five experiments which repre-
sented the various areas of chemistry.
The program is designed to stimulate the interest of
high school students in careers in science by exploring the
use of science in the solution of everyday problems. It
also was an opportunity for each student to familiarize
themselves with the academic atmosphere of a college
level chemistry environment.

on November 20th.
More to sell than before at the ume low price of
il.OO. Sale begins at 8:00 a.m. in Ulman Room 105.
Stop by and satisfy your appetite.
President Carter has signed the student-aid bill that
will open Basic Educationat Opportunity Grants (BEOG's)
to 1.5 million middle-Income students and allow about
450,000 students from mid- and upper-middle Income
families to qualify for interest subsidies on Guarantee
Student Loans. The President signed the bill (now Public
Law 95-566) on November 6th.
The middle-income aid law will make students from
families with incomes up to $25,000 (for a family of four
with one child in college) eligible for BEOG's In the
1979-80 academic year. The eligibility ceiling Is now
around $15,000. It will provide In-schooi Interest sub-
sidles on Guarantee Student Loans for students from
families in all Income ranges, removing the $25,000
Income ceiling which has been effect. And it expands the
campus based Supplemental Educational Opportunity
Grants and College Work Study programs to reach middle-
income students.
DORM LIFE
by Tom Umrath
Is anyone looking for an innovative new way to
gamble without waiting for the race results to come In or
the football game to end? Try wagering on the chance of
getting an unused washing machine between the hours of
four and ten p.m. Anyone who beats the odds will be In
for a spectacular payoff.
Many a student has experienced the dismay of
trudging to the basement of Ullman Hall with twenty
pounds of festering laundry, only to find all of the ma-
chines in use, sometimes by one person, who needs a
separate washer for his/her exotic Parisian knits delicate
Asian silks, and the like.
Consequentiy, the laundry bag is stuffed back into
its closet to sit another day, much to the disgust of both
persons occupying the dorm room.
To some this is a familiar scene. Of course, to others
it reeks of pure nonsense. But the latter are of that almost
mythical class that is blessed with eternal good luck; the
type that wins five free games on one play of the pinball
machine, that always fill their limit when hunting, al-
though they can't tell the stock from the barrel of the
gun, and the kind that get a washer on the first try
without falling.
All other wretched souls must usually restrict their
washing to the late hours of the night, or early morning.
By then it is more often than not possible to find a
washer and dryer minus an 'out of order' sign, and the
temperature and hunidlty In the laundry room have
settied down to a comfortable 80 "F and 90%, respectively.
By the way, if you happen to be one of those people
who has experienced good luck about once in the past
year, take heart. There's always the bathroom sink.
AUDIO CORNER
by Glen Michalak
After an absence, the column's back again. This
week's topic is distortion and what types of distortion
there are.
The definition of distortion is any undeslred chanp
in the waveform of a signal. When a single frequency, or
sine wave is fed through an amplifier, any distortion that
the amplifier adds will appear on an oscilloscope as jagged
edges on the wave. These rough edges are multiples of the
input frequency, and known as harmonics. The sum of all
the harmonics and hum and noise inherent in the amplifier
circuits Is known as THD or Total Harmonic Distortion.
If two tones are used as the test signal, the dis-
tortion parts at frequencies which are the sums and dif-
ferences of the harmonics of the input tones. Their sum
Is expressed as IM or Inter-Modulation Distortion, which
is worse to listen to.
There are other types of distortion such as TIM or
Transient Inter-Modulation Distortion, and slew rate,
but because the human ear cannot readily discern them,
they are of no consequence to the beginning audiophlle.
Next week - which is better, 20 watts at .5% THD
or 10,000 watu at .5% THD?
Dear Editor:
This is my second full year as a student at DVC.
Having come as a transfer student with credits from
two other major universities, I appreciate the uniqueness
of Del Val's resources, the excellence and helpfuilness of
its faculty and staff.
My only complaint so far is that the library, which
houses a fine collection in an architecturally pleasing
setting, is not really set up for study. My study hours are
limited, as is study space at home. I need the library, and
depend on it as a resource for quiet study several hoMts a
day. It seems I lose part of almost every study sestion to
frustration at the noise around me, and finally annoyance
at having to request quiet, from people who are usually
more than willing to comply.
I spoke with the head Librarian, Mrs. Shook about
the situation. She felt that people do need a place to work
together, and that there are few places on campus. She
also suggested the music listening rooms as an alternative
to the upstairs study carrels for someone who is easily
distractable (me). She agreed, too, that there might be a
need for more carrels, rather than tables.
I would like to suggest that one area be designated a
place for working together. I propose the table area in the
library basement, where people may talk causing dis-
traction to fewer people than conversation upstairs, where
there are more carrels located in such a way as to pick up
noise from all parts of the room and central hallway.
Segal Hall basement could also serve as a place for group
study with littie inconvenience to others.
I would like to suggest also that students be a littie
more thoughtful and the librarians a littie more conscious
of unnecessary conversation. I'm sure no one is deliber-
ately thoughtiess of the needs of others around them. We
all forget at times how our small actions may affect others.
I need the library, and don't want to play Police
Woman, or make enemies, but my study time Is valuable,
and I am asking others to respect it.
Sincerely yours,
S. L. Moore

(Stolen from the Dining Hall recipe file.)
1 elephant -salt & pepper
2 rabbits (optional)
Cut one elephant Into bite size pieces. This should take
about 2 months. Add brown gravy to cover. Cook over
kerosene fire at 465 "for four weeks. This will serve 380O
people. If more are expected, 2 rabbits may be added, but
do this only if necessary because most people do not like
to find hare in their stew.
POWER TO SHARE
by |lm Magnus
To provoke a few laughs, It may be said that the
students of Delaware Valley College of Science and
Agriculture have a strong affinity for their campus pro-
fessors. However, as disheartening and infortunate as it is
true, the associations between the faculty and the stu-
dent body are often limited to the minutes set aside for
class period. Visitors are quite surprised by this fact when
they notice the relatively low student to teacher ratio,
routhly is: 1.
The million-dolior question is - "who is to blame
for this laclc of affinity: the students, the faculty, or
the administration?
The many underlying factors that have brought
about this resulting low morale point the blame to all
three. The administration provides the initial thrust for
any type of student-faculty relationship. After all, they
do the hiring, it seems that one of their unmentioned
policies is to hire the younger faculty In order to acquire
a long-term investment. These younger teachers have
often not yet attained their doctorate degree. Faculty
inexperience at creating a strong rapport with their
students is manifested by disrespectful, chaotic inter-
ruptions during lecture and a high rate of cuts. A teacher
must start somewhere, but there is no excuse for a high
quantity of inexperienced professors at any one school.
The administration should also follow through with Its
responsibility of relieving a professor of his duties when
they quite obviously do not live up to the rating that
this college so courageously boasts (p. 1 1 '78-79 D.V.C.
Bulletin).
Faculty should taice some matters into consideration
in order to relieve themselves of any blame. First, they
are the faculty and we the student body. It is the re-
sponsibility of the faculty to set a good example for the
students to follow. Professors are often late for their
scheduled classes, sometimes never showing up. The
amount of free time that they offer for personal help in
their offices is also quite limited. Many professors leave
the campus as soon as their last class is finished. But their
responsibility is to the student. Office time should be In-
creased. Extra help sessions should be stressed. The
faculty is not paid solely for the amount of time they
spend In class.
And now the responsibility falls on us, the student.
Why do we feel so bitter towards those teaching us? We
are so quicic to scream about the professors we dislike.
Rarely, though, do we encourage or compliment the ones
whom we approve. This inconsistency does not give our
word too much pull. We must give credit where credit
is due. We must exercise respect for those who do their
job. Only then will our dissatisfactions initiate for us any
improvements. Finally, if we expect the faculty to do
their job, we must hold up our own end of the academic
burden. Preparation for class is infinitely important. It
promotes class participation and discussion. This forms
the root for any relationship we will build with those
upon whom we are entrusting our academic careers.
INTRAMURALS
The Intramural Football season is quickly drawing to
a close. The race for the top six teams is fierce. The final

AGGIES' BASKETBALL
by Paul Stanziale & Seb Ca»aro
With all of the fail sports coming to a close this
week, we enter a new winter season. Starting November
2Sth, the Delaware Valley Mens Varsity Basketball
team, under the direction of their new head coach, Les
Lombardi, will travel to Williamsburg, Va. to open their
season against Division I team, William & Mary.
Coach Lombardi comes to DVC from Winston
Churchill High School in Potamac, Maryland. Here he
led his underdog team to a state AA Championship.
Lombardi 's paramount achievement as a high school
coach was leading the Capital All Stars over the United
States Ail Surs. The victory marked the first time in the
five year history of the high school All Star game that
a local team won.
Mr. Lombardi thrives on challanges. His high school
coaching recorc*. proves it. That is why he scheduled his
Division III team to face William & Mary. Even though
his team is an obvious underdog, he believes this oppor-
tunity will offer an invaluable experience, carrying over
throughout the season.
The team has endured Lombardi 's efficient 2 hours
a day, 6 days a week practices since mid October with
team and individual Improvement being the resulting
factor. There are still 2 long weeks of hard practice re-
maining to iron out any rough spots.
Although he makes no predictions, (mainly be-
cause of infamiliararity with the opposition) with good
enthusiastic fans can make the difference of 10 or more
points. Last year 10 extra points per game would have
won 7 more games. DVC students can make that differ-
ence. The first home game is against Wilkes on Wednesday,
November 29. Come out and lets ignite a champion!

Fairleigh Dickinson (Madison). The win was the first of
the season and the first football win in the new James
Work Memorial Stadium.
in the first half both teams battled for field position.
The "Aggies" had an early opportunity in the first quarter
but missed a 29 yard field goal attempt. The remainder of
the half saw good defensive action by both teams. Both
teams entered the locker room at haiftime scoreless.
The A^ies opened the third quarter with a score on
their first possession. After a recovered F.D.U. fumble.
Junior quarterback Ron Haraka (cllfton, N.J.) hit sopho-
more Phil Boob (Mill Hall, Pa.) with a 29 yard touchdown
pass. The extra point was added by Kevin Hoke to make
the score 7-0 In favor of Delaware Valley Colle^.
The "Jersey Devils" retaliated by opening the fourth
quarter with a touchdown of their own. Senior Don Davis
of F.D.U. caught a deflected pass from freshman quarter-
back Cliff Koch and fell Into the end zone. The 22 yard
completion and extra point by Warren Kimber tied the
score at 7-7.
The "Aggies" ended their frustration immediately
after the 4 minute warning as freshman kicker Kevin
Hoke (Pottsviile, Pa.) kicked a 22 yard field goal. The
"Aggies" had three touchdowns called back on penalties
In the second half.
In a brief ceremony before the game seniors joe

Pa.) and Charlie Thomas (Warminster, Pa.) and their

yard touchdown run.
The large home crowd was treated to a special half-
time show by the Penn Ridge Marching Band.
READY TO ROLL
by Seb Cassaro
The DVC Wrestlers open their session on the 1 8th of
November with the Fourth Annual Philadelphia Metro-
politan Tournament. Last year DVC placed 3rd behind
Temple and Weschester. Last seasons outstanding record
of 15-2-0 is enhanced this year by the fact that no starters
were lost through graduation. In reality, this year's team
should be stronger and, quite possibly attain an un-
defeated season.
Coach Marshall sees Dave Zawisa 1 1 8, Art Shuli 1 72,
Stan McGlynn 158, and Mike Danis in the starting line-up.
Helping out will be sophomores Al Kurnath 150, Warren
Robertson 177, Hank Knlbe 190, and Jeff Bartholomew
heavyweight.
Freshmans rounding out the team are Jim Noiasco
1 26, and Tony Novak 1 34. Good competition from non
starters Is anticipated.
In a final word, the DVC Wrestlers deserve greater
recognition to which previous records prove valid. They
are one of our "Aggie" teams that have been producing
winning seasons. And yes, they are GOOD and, very
much a winner.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
The women's basketball team of Delaware Valley
College wilt be participating in League 4 of the Middle
Atlantic Conference. Other colleges in that league Include:
Drew, Ursinus, and Widener.
Practice sessions for the Lady Aggies will begin Tues-
day, November 7, 1978. Although the Aggies have little
depth, they will feature returning letter winners: Joyce
Newswanger, Pine Grove, Pa.; Donna Kalidenskas, Phila-
delphia, Pa.; and Brenda Wolfe, Perkasie, Pa.
Coach Peggy Veilncr, entering her fifth year as head
coach, expects freshmen Donna Cassano, York, Pa. and
Patti Rissinger, Sacramento, Pa., to aid the Aggie cause.
Both were outstanding performers on their respective high
school teams: York Suburban and Tri-Valiey.
The Lady Aggies open their season at Franklin and
Marshall College December 5th, and travel to Western
Maryland on December 9th. The December 9th date
concludes their '78 season.
CROSS COUNTRY

season and finishing in back of those teams that had
beaten them during the season.
As planned the team members ran most of the race

BOARD CHANGES
ALCOHOL POLICY
by Michael Downing
President of Student Government
As you may lie aware, on November 12th, the Board
of Trustees at it's Annual Meeting voted to modify the
present campus alcohol regulations. These modifications
will not become effective until September 1979.
The modifications that were made have not been
presented in their entirity but, in essence are as follows:
1. Beer or wine in moderation may be consumed on
campus by students who are 21 years of age or
older in specified residence halls only.
2. Students 21 years of age or older, who desire to
drink alchollc beverages on campus, will be re-
quired to register with the Dean of Students.
3. A special ID card will be issued to those students
who register and they will be assigned to a
specific dormitory which will house only those
participating in the program.
4. Special approved social activities for these stu-
dents may be held in the lounge areas of these
specified dormitories.
The Modifications and their full explanation is forth
coming during the next few weeks. Until then, this Is all
that we know, please be patient with your questions.*
This program will be on a trial basis and will take
alot of effort and cooperation on behalf of the Student
Body to make such a program a success.
Work on the mechanics has begun already and will
continue through next semester until they are finialized.
At such time the proposal, it's mechanics and full ramifi-
cations on the Student Body and Student Life here at
Del Val, will be given a final review. It is hoped that each
and every one of you will bring forward some positive
ideas on how this change can best be made to work. The
change in the drinking policy has been requested for
many years; now that we have It, let's make it work for
the good of all students at Del Val. Together, we can
move forward, and attend to other problems as well.
^Because this policy is still being finialized, please write
down your questions and forward them to Student
Government or c/o The Collegian so that we may attend
to them now.
SNOW TIME
STUDY TIME
This past Monday saw the first snow of the 1978-79
school year at DVC. Although classes were scheduled as
normal, many were called off or cut short due to the
inclement weather as snow continued to fall well into the
day. The morning brought the inconveniences of transpor-
tation, slippery walks, cold figures, and those blasted
snow flakes melting on your glasses. By afternoon,
however, as free time was found here and there, the usual
campus snow scenes were witnessed. Snowball fights
erupted outside the dining hall, dogs and their masters
frolicked in the white yards, and janitors shoveled the
little bit of snow and sleet from the steps and walkways
of their respective buildings. Other than some of the
buildings being a little on the chilly side, it was all-in-all a
nice transition day between Thanksgiving vacation and
that final third of the semester which always seems to
contain more work than the previous two-thirds.
RSVP DORM LIFE
HOUSING
The Residence Life Office would like to be notified
by those students who will be moving off campus or
withdrawing from the College for the Spring Semester of
'79; this also includes a senior who will be graduated. Any
student who will be graduated or will be withdrawing
must pick up a "check-out" form from Mr. Fulcoly,
Director of Student Counseling Services (Lasker Hall).
Anyone who desires to move off campus must
complete a "Request To Move Off Campus"; these
forms may be obtained from the Residence Life Office
(Allman Building). Students who are making arrange-
ments for on campus room changes must notify the
Resident Assistant on their floor who will then issue a
"Request for Room Change" that must be completed
and returned to the Residence Life Office. The Resi-
dence Life Office encourages all those requesting to
change rooms to make their own arrangements with
students who are also interested in changing rooms. All
requests must be approved by the Housing Directors
before the changing of rooms takes place.

The operation of the laundramat in Ulman Hall
began in November of '77. There were only two washers
and two dryers the first year. The laundry facility proved
to be profitable and very much needed. The College and
outside contractors researched the possibility of adding
more machines; we received the go-ahead and added two
more washers and two more dryers. Thus, the College
started the '78- '79 academic year with four washers and
four dryers.
The laundromat is being used just about 24 hours a
day. To date, the College Is not sure how many more
machines the facility can accommodate. Recommenda-
tions have been made to add additional machines. If
additional machines are not added it will be for mere
mechanical reasons such as wastewater disposal.
DVC leases the laundry equipment from a com-
mercial business, Coin-Op of America. Coin-Op services
all of the equipment in the laundry room. If you find
that the machines are not operating properly, please
notify Mrs. Vararre, ext. 219; the repair requisition will
be given to Coin-Op. If you are losing money, refunds
may be obtained from Mrs. Navarre, Allman Building,
2nd floor #7.
A LITTLE VARIETY
by Jim Magnus
Bravo Diane Devore and Terri Domagala and who-
ever else was involved in organizing the recently held
Variety Show. The record crowd proved that our college
is not such a dead-pan campus. The excellent acts were
exciting displays of the high caliber talent we never notice.
Congratulations to the winners of the best act and best
commercial awards. Receiving $50 for best act was Tyro,
a band made up of D.V.C. Students: Chip Cower, Mike
Oanis, Craig Edgerton, Drew Fillipo, Bret Torrey, and
)im Quartuccio. For best commercial, John Wengryn
won $25. (John chews Copenhageri)

GOVERNMENT
GLIMPSE
by jim Magnus
In past articles I have stressed the importance of stu-
dent cooperation in striving for a unified body. This im-
porunt issue is not to be taken lightly. Nevertheless,
progress will not be made in that direction until a satis-
factory example is set as a guideline.
Now we must ask this question, "Who is in a posi-
tion to provide this necessary example?" My answer to
that question is, "The Student Government." Many
people, however, have expressed feelings, pointing a
convicting finger at our elected minority. It must be
taken into consideration that many complaints are im-
mature, biased, or unsubstantiated. It is not my desire to
dwell on the complaints. It is my intent to write on a
result. As a result of students voicing their opinions
through this school publication, friction has developed
between the staff of the "Collegian" and the officers of
the Student Government. The editor of our staff has been
distinctly accused of not getting things accomplished for
our student body. It is not the role of the newspaper to
work out the problems of the campus. This is the job of
the Student Government. The "Collegian" is to present
the news as it occurs on the campus of Delaware Valley
College of Science and Agriculture. Hopefully, these two
essential organizations will learn to accept their individual
responsibilities in a new light and with a new goal. That
goal is unity.
HILLEL ON CAMPUS
by Michael Sobel
For the first time in the history of our college a
Hillel organization is in the process of being formed. The
Hlllel is a Jewish fellowship club found on just about
every university and major college campus across the
nation. Hillel is a cultural as well as a religious experience
that is open to the entire college population.
During the last few years a new trend of returning to
one's roots has been quite evident throughout America.
The Hillel offers an active expression of this trend. It is
a vehicle for active participation in the broad social,
cultural, and religious activities offered by the organi-
zation.
A constitution has yet to be formulated and pre-
sented to the I.C.C., however an advisor has been chosen
from the faculty, who is quite capable and willing to de-
vote his time and interest to the club.
If you are Interested in joining or helping out please
contact Michael Sobel (Miller ext. 298) or Scott Geller
(Samuel ext. 314).
A LIBRARY IS
by Dr. John Mertz
In your opinion which of the following character-
izes the DVC Library?
A. A place to study lecture notes and textbooks.
B. A place in which to spend free time between
classes.
C. A source of Information to ferret out for term
papers.
D. A source of recreational reading.
E. None of the above.
I suspect that most faculty members would antici-
pate that student choices among these responses would
run something like this:
A. the choice of most on-campu$ students who more
or less frequently visit the Library.
B. the choice of most off-campus students who
frequently visit the Library.
C. the choice of those students who were polled
within a weei( of the due date for a term paper.
D. selected only by the Gleaner's staff members.
E. the choice of all too many students.
It may be, unfortunately, that many of us view tfie
Library (make that and library) as a dull, Intimidating
storehouse of dull, intimidating literature. But a library
ought to be a fun place! Ceruinly our Library's staff,
^ded by the Cultural Affairs Alliance, has sought to
make it so! But all one has to do is to check the number
of times that good books (that don't happen to be course
assignments) have been checked out. It is apparent that
too many DVC students simply don't appreciate that
there is an enormous amount of pleasurable reading stored
in the Library and they are missing the boat!
There is a great deal of interesting recreational liter-
ature in the Library. I mean books that are fun, not
chores, to read. Each of us has his or her own list of favor-
ites on his or her favorite topics. Mine is natural history,
and, for what it's worth, I've listed some fun books in
that subject below. The next time you're looking for
something to do with your spare time, try one of them.
I found them enterUining, interesting, and (perish the
thought!) i even learned (painlessly!) something from
them! Maybe they'll do the same for you! (And, by the
way. . .have you got some favorites? Why not share
them with us via the Collegian?)

LETTERS
Dear Editor:
In response to the article entitled "Commuter
Corner" appearing in the November 3rd issue of The
COLLEGIAN, I would like to correct what I feel was a
complete misrepresentation of the facts concerning
Student Government's action taken on the present
parking situation.
The suggestion was brought forward at our meeting
on October 9th that commuters be allocated the front
half of the parking lot and residents the back half. This
suggestion appeared in our minutes. A Committee was
formed to look into the parking problem and make a
recommendation to be put forth to the administration.
Also, stated in that paragraph was a request for more
suggestions. To this date we have received no other
suggestions. The Committee will make its report at our
joint meeting on November 13th. Will you be there to
see that WE DO REPRESENT YOU!
In addition, our request for a clean-up of trash In the
parking lot (October 23rd) was directed at all students
leaving trash behind, not solely commuters, if commuters
always get "stuck" parking in the rear of the lot, and they
don't make a mess, then why is the back half of the lot
littered?
In conclusion, I think it would be an excellent Idea
for a Collegian Staff member to cover Student Govern-
ment meetings. If this is impossible, 1 am always available
for questions concerning Student Government; or, as a
last resort, you should at least read Student Gowrnment
minutes and correctly represent them in the Collegian
articles.
Michael Downing, President
Student Government
Dear Mike:
If you read tfie COLLEGIAN regularly, you riiould
realize diat the "Commuter Comer" is formatted as an
editorial type column. Anything found In that column ii
lltely to be highly opinionated. It is the autfior's pert^-
atlve to express himself In a m»iner which is convincing,
but not abusl^, and It Is the paper's option to print any-
thing tfiat it feels is Informative or thought provoking,
but Is not Irrespontible or Inaccurate. All of these criteria
have be^n met.
Your chVr^ of misrepresentation seems to me to be
unfounded, if you study the article carefully, you ^ould
notice that nothing Is actually false. I confess that there
are a few cynical comments, but I must resUte tiiat It Is
the author's perogatiw to include these if he feels that
they will help to expre» the idea being presented. The
article's comment regarding ^e Student Government
Rep's seemingly lack of concern is true. Although this
may not be the feeling of tfie general consensus of Stu-
dent Government, It was the attitude displayed by one of
tiw Reps. Also, the litter situation in tfie parking lot,
which may in part be due to commuters, is, in my opin-
ion, predominantly perpetrated by tf)e resident studentt.
I do, howe>«r, ^ree tfiat everyone tfiould do his part
toward a clean-up effort.
In the final analysis, I do not think that things are as
bad as you Imply. Our respective Institutions ^ould be
able to work in harmony, complimenting the student life
at DVC. I would like to point out tha^ In the same issue
of the COLLEGIAN in question, there was an article
entitled "Government Glimpse". It was very compli-
mentary of the work being done by Student Govern-
ment Do you think that Its inclusion was an oversight?
We do try to keep a balanced content! If you do not
feel that It is sufficient, I invite and encourage you or
one of your staff to submit a weekly column to inform
the student body of Student Government's activity In
a fashion more interesting to read than a copy of the
minutes of your meetings.

SPORTS
TROJANS CHAMPS
AGAIN
Th« Intramural Football season ended witfi the
Trojan — S.O.M.F. champlontfilp game. The outcome was
Trojans 7 - S.O.M.F. 0.
The game was primarily dominated by tite Trojan
offense. The score was deceiving as two touchdowns
were called back. The first half went scoreleu.
The su-ong Trojan defense susuined long hard drives
by ti^e S.O.M.F. offense and broke through It only once
for a score. S.O.M.F. had several long offensive drives in
both halves, but could not capitalize on them.
The only score came in the middle of the second
half, after a long drive down the field t^ the Trojans.
Substitute Quarterback Wayne Long threw a pass to Pete
Festt In ttie end zone, for the only touchdown. The extra
point was scored on a run to ttie left corner by Wayne
Long. This brought the score to 7-0, where it remained
throu^out the finish of the game.
Defense was strong on both sides and each team held
the other well.
S.O.M.F. played an excellent game and are to be
congratulated along with the Trojans for a fine game
and Mason.
We want to Thank all teams who participated this
year - It was an exciting, fun-filled, fairly Injury free
season, right up to tht end. We also wish to thank all the
referees who gave their time and energy to make this
teason the best one.
GOOD LUCKIl to all players and teams in the
Winter Intramural program - See you next Fall!
ZAWISZA WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP
by S. Cassaro
In the fifth Metropolitan wrestling championship
held at Glassboro Sute College, Delaware Valley, as a
team, placed third behind Temple and Salisbury State.
Among colleges of strong opposition were, Univ. of
Delaware, Weschester State, and Univ. of Penn. Individual
performers saw Sun McGlynn 158, and Art Shull 142
Uke third place victories; and Mike Danls 167, and Jeff
Bartholomew heavyweight finished second.
However, the highlight of the day was Dave Zawisza.
Coach Marshall said "Dave needed a spark to get him
going". Determination to come out on the winning side
was all the spark he needed. In the first round, Dave
easily disposed of Schisaler of Urslnus 5 sec. into period
two. Then Zawisza decisioned Straglano of Weschester
Sttte 9-6. Winding up to Uke the championship, Dave
edged Bradely of Salisbury 4-2 to Uke first place in the
1 1 8 pound weight class.
After the meet. Coach Marshall commented that this
victory was the spark Dave was looking for. He was also
pleased at how his team performed against some of the
bigger schools. Individual performers also placed their
mark in their respective weight classes. If determination
was the tool of victory, then the DVC werstlers have an
abundance thereof, and Dave's victory might be a prelude
of what is to come.
AGGIES BASKETBALL
by P. Stanziale
The Aggies opened their 1978-79 season with a loss
to division I team. The William and Mary Indians in
Williamsburg, VA on Saturday, November 21st.
Despite the loss, the underdog Aggies sutistioc were
good! After the first half, Walliam and Mary held the lead,
36-32 but Del Val led in both field goal and free throw
percentage.
In the second half the Indians height ad van uge took
its toll on DVC when they broke out with a 17 point
burst and an overall 68% field goal percenugc. Fine
shooting and control of the offensive boards boosted
William and Mary over the Aggies, 86-64. High scorer for
the Aggies was senior captain, Jim Mcshea with 18 points.
The first league game for Del Val will be Thursday
at 8:15. The Aggies will be hosting Wilks College.

APIARY ACTION
Santa's elves aren't the only ones working hard, the
Apiary Society has been pretty busy itself. They just
recently extracted and bottled some honey obtained
from the college hives. Many non-club members buzzed
on up to the bee house to get an Idea on how this pro-
cedure is carried out. Everyone went home sticky, but
satisfied.
This Friday will be another busy night at the work-
shop as the club will be making beeswax candles. Doc
Berthoid usually enlightens everyone with fun facts
about wax and other bee products.
Need a Christmas gift idea? Give something from
nature - a product from our friends the bees. Honey
and candles make great gtfts for your Aunt Marthas
and others. Those cute hqHey bears would be great as

THE STUDENT'S PSALM
The professor is my quizmaster, I shall not flunk.
He maketh me to enter the examination room.
He leadeth me to an alternate seat.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me into a deep problem for the grade's
sake.
Yes, though I know not the answers to the question,
The class average comforts me.
i prepare my answers before me in the presence of
my proctors.
He ahointeth my head with figures. My time runneth
out.
Surely grades and bluebooks will follow me all the
days of my life.
And I will dwell in this university forever. Amen

MEET EARNEST
by Rick Lewis
H6w many times have you gone by the Alumni
House and seen an old black man sitting on the patio or In
his car smoking his pipe? How many times have you
wondered, "Who is that guy"? Weil, I was curious also, so
I went to Mrs. Work with my question. Campus, meet
Ernest Purneil.
Ernest, who originally came from Baltimore, is the
longest employed person on DVC's payroll. He started
working here in around 1910 when he was roughly 16
years old. His current title is "Custodian of the Alumni
House," but his duties have been very diversified through-
out the years.
At one time, when Lasker Hall served as the dining
hail, Ernest was the dining hall's head waiter. He would be
the one who served the Trustees and the Board of Direc-
tors when they were on the campus. According to Mrs.
Work, Ernest still has (and is still proud of) his white
jacket which he used to wear when he performed this
function.
He also used to serve as chauffer to the presidents
of the College, driving for both Dr. Krauskopf and Dr.
Work. The administrative offices of the College were
in Philadelphia so transportation was needed to and fro.
The two men for whom he drove were the two men
whom he respected more than any other.
Ernie has had many other jobs around campus, but
to name them ail would fill up this page of the paper. To
evaluate his personality, Dr. Feldstein stressed two
works: very loyal. Ernie loves DVC and probably knows
more about its history than anyone else. He has become
such a part of the institution that almost all of the old
"Aggies" ask to see him at homecoming. Many ask,
"is he still here?" because they remember him as being
old when they attended DVC, but even in his old age
(over 80) he still drives and prepares his own meals.
Ernie has a good outlook on life. It Is said that he
has never really had a true enemy. He loves to philos-
ophize and has a well stocked storehouse of old sayings
and homespun philosophy, but he also loves to tease and
is a great storyteller. Although Ernie has had little formal
education he has certainly made up for it through his
life's experiences. He even served in WWII
As a hobby, Ernie loves to raise tropical fish. He has
several aquariums in his room. He also enjoys whittling
and smoking his cigars and pipe. He is really a pleasant
person to talk to and although he is a little shy, he will
talk to anyone. Next time you have the opportunity,
stop and talk to Ernie. . . .you will both enjoy It!.
PLEASE NOTE:
Please Note:
It may seem early, however, it is time to start
thinking about financial aid for the 1979-80 academic
year. All the necessary forms are now available in the
Student Financial Aid Office. Those students who aspire
to renew their eligibility or who would like to be con-
sidered for aid are encouraged to come In as soon as
possible.
DORM LIFE
RECOGNITION
Mr. Johnson, past advisor to the Class of '77 presents
their first recognition award to jim Splndler, a senior
Agronomy major, while Mr. Tasker, Dean of Student's
looks on.
by Tom Umrath
Procrastination can only go so far before a much-
despised task be done. Such is the case with cleaning a
dorm room, a chore loathed by many. There comes a
time when you can no longer wade through plies of
dirty laundry scattered on the floor, when clouds of
dust hanging in the air making breathing hazardous. At
such times, action must be taken. After the clothes are
picked up, It suddenly becomes apparent that the job is
far from done. A thick cover of dust on floor and furni-
ture alike is suddenly revealed to the eye. As if this were
not discouraging enough, other little surprises await your
discovery. Concealed behind each chair are growing
"tumbleweeds" of lint, which float gently through the
dust-filled air at the slightest disturbance. By the window,
the cider which you so diligently set out to harden has
spilled and solidified, leaving an epoxy-like substance on
the floor to grasp any unsuspecting shoes. Somewhere in
the dark recesses beneath your desk lies a green, un-
finished hamburger, now home to an army of tiny ants.
And the coke which you spilled on your carpet last week
now houses a multiplying colony of Eumycoto. You
contemplate whether or not you should assault the mess
on this particular day. All of a sudden, study becomes
extremely important. Finally, you decide that your health
should come first, and you begin to search for your
broom.
VACATIONING
YOUR PLANTS
by Steve Silberstein
It's almost vacation time again, so what do you do
with those houseplants? If they're cactus and other
succulents, they will survive for several weeks without
water or other care.
If you have just a few plants, taking them home is
probably best. However, this may be impractical If you
have many plants. They will survive unattended if you
take some time to prepare them. First, cut off all dead
and dying leaves and stems. Also remove all flowers and
flower buds. Any dead or dying plant tissue will become
moldy and may cause the plant to rot. Water the plants
well, but remove water from the saucer at the base of the
pot. Then, seal the entire plant and pot in a clear plastic
bag, leaving some air space surrounding the foliage, but
don't puncture the plastic bag.
This treatment will keep your plants in reasonably
good condition for about a month.
COMMUTER CORNER
by Dennis Kinslow
Well, once again the snows have come, and once
j^ain the commuters are forgotten. We are expected to
be here on time even though the roads are not cleared.
Why can't classes be delayed an hour? This would allow
us to drive here safely and without having to rush on icy
roads. To make up the hour, each period could be cut ten
minutes. Apparently the thinking goes: if the residents
can get to class on time why can't the commuters:
We received the following letter:
Dear Computer Corner:
Commuters should have some concern for entertain-
ment expenditures around campus. It seems as though
costly entertainment is only offered at night which Is not
easy for most commuters to attend. For Instance, In
Septemt)er, a good amount of money was spent on a
magician (Gil Eagles) whose greatest act was making 50/n«
where in the neighborhood of $1,400 disappear from the
student government balance and recently there was an
escape artist scheduled at night who failed to show up on
time. (Guess he got tied up!) These costly events should
be enjoyed by ail.
Commuters, you pay the same dues and student
government fee as do resident students, and do not enjoy
the same benifits. Maybe our student government will
look into a "college hour" for future semesters. During
this hour there would be no regular classes and entertain-
ment could be scheduled so no one gets cut short. By the
way, commuters comprise a solid third of the total stu-
dent population, hardly enough to be ignored.
If equal attention cannot be offered, then there
should not be an equal demand for dues or student
government fees. Signed, P.S.

SPORTS:
BASKETBALL
by P. Sunzlale
The Delaware Valley Varsity Basketball team won
tticir opening home and league game by beating Wilkes
College In overtime, 90-91.
At the end of the first half, the DVC fans witnessed
Ken Mitchel hook a two pointer with :01 on the clock,
which l^rought the Aggies within one point. They trailed
previously by 1 points.
The Aggies came back hot ind held a nine points
lead most of the second half. The lead deteriorated
however and with 45 remaining, Del Vai led by just
two. A poor inbounds pass enabled Wilkes to tie It up and
force an overtime which only proved to prolong the death
of the visiting team.
Without spoiling coach Lombardl's home debut,
the Aggies rose to the occasion by out scoring their
opponent by nine points in the 5:00 overtime. The
leading hot ,hand for the Ani«* was Ken Mitchel with
26 points followed by Jim McShea with 20 points. A
fine performance by Tom Kehoe also deserves mention.
On Saturday, December 2, the Aggies were not as
fortunate as In their previous game when the Elizabeth-
town Blue jays handed them their first loss. Delaware
Valley held a ten point lead In the first half but they
dwindled to a three point lag by the middle of the second.
Plenty of opportunities came the Aggies way but low
percentage shots, weak rebounding and a few officiating
discrepancies combined to keep them from getting any
closer than one point. The final score was 74-70.
LACROSSE
DVC Is introducing a Lacross Club on campus this
year. All those interested, are invited to attend the
meetings on Tuesday at 6:30 pm in Work Hail Lounge.

VOLUME XII, NUMBER 14
FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1979
NOTICE: The opinions expressed in any individual article do not necessarily represent tiie viewpoint of the paper or of the school.
From the
Editor's Desk
Dear Fellow Students,
On behalf of the COLLEGIAN sUff. I would like to
welcome you bacic for another semester of classes at
Delaware Valley College. In retrospect, many things
happened during the past semester that will change the
way that both we and the College will think in the future.
We have learned more about people - who we can and
cannot trust. The College has learned more about students'
needs and desires. It was just this past semester that the
board of directors (or trustees) approved of a more liberal
alcohol policy (effective September 1979) for the campus.
It is something which has been already accepted or sur-
passed by many colleges, but still, to maintain whatever
we have gained, we must make a conscious effort to not
abuse it. If we can show the administration that we can
handle this newfound freedom in a mature, adult fashion,
then they may not be so hesitant to adopt additional
policies allowing even more freedom and benefits for the
students.
I would like to thank our staff and advisors and all
other people whose contributions to the COLLEGIAN
helped us put out a successful newspaper. The many
long hours involved in the preparation of each edition
go unappreciated by far too many people. We have
taken our paper through several steps of advancement
this past semester, and with your help, by aiding us with
some of your time and ideas, we can make it even better.
Cooperation is the key word.
While on the subject of cooperation, I would tike to
take some time to condemn the activities of a select
group of students who took it upon themselves to con-
duct vandalism and theft against the office of the COL-
LEGIAN and several other rooms In the basement of
Ulman Hall. These actions only serve to confirm that
those who are performing them are too immature to
handle the responsibilities of the cause that they are
"fighting for". Demonstrations of this nature are held
with far less credibility than are expressions ttirough
more conventional forms of communication. It is true
that the room which is now the COLLEGIAN office had
at one time been earmarked to become a student lounge.
Also, some very diligent and valuable work had been done
on the room by student volunteers, but it Is my under-
sunding (and someone please correct me if I am wrong)
that because there had been little or no Interest shown in
the project for a "long time", the room was turned over
to the COLLEGIAN, who had been sharing an office with
the Circle K Club. For those who are interested, the
COLLEGIAN would be happy to help, with what powers
it has, to find an alternate solution to the problem, if
requested.
I would now like to take the opportunity in this first
Issue of the semester to discuss a point which I somewhat
neglected during the past semester, partly due to lack of
experience, and partly due to lack of time. Editorial
policy is something which must be rather openly ex-
pressed, and followed up with by appropriate compliance.
It must be understood by all those concerned, and must
be flexible enough to accommodate charige if just cause is
cited.
The COLLEGIAN was established by the school
with one major goal in mind. That is to provide a medium
of mass communication between the students on campus.
It is paid for through student fees and is not censored by
the faculty or the administration, but by the student
staff. All contributions, regardless of source (student,
faculty, administration, private, and public, as well as
those submitted by staff members) are considered for
publication. The process of selection to determine what
articles will or will not be published is conducted by the
editor at either his sole discretion or as a result ot con-
sultation with the staff. It must be noted that it is very
seldom that a student contribution is omitted.
Letters to the editor and the staff are encouraged.
Every letter will be read and, if appropriate, will be an-
swered and/or published. Letters for publication MUST
be signed ledgibly, however all requests for the with-
holding of names will be honored. The editor retains the
right to edit any and ail material for publication.
As was the case last semester, the deadline for our
Friday publication is Monday at noon. Materials sub-
mitted for publication must be neat and clear - typing is
the most preferrable form. Clubs are encouraged to make
announcements of meetings and upcoming events as well
as report on events past. Students are invited to take ad-
vantage of the wide exposure on campus of the COL-
LEGIAN to make any grievance known to all.
We have but one problem. Money. Some of our pub-
lications will have to be cut short this semester because of
a tighter budget. I will be forwarding a letter to the ad-
ministration shortly, asking that next year's budget allot-
ment for publications be made larger so that we may con-
tinue to Improve ourselves to the point that we really
have a first rate newspaper for a non-journalism college
the size of ours.
To Improve our staff, I will be contacting the Gen-
eral Studies department to determine whether a journalism
course could be feasibly initiated at DVC. It would also
tend to attract more people to work on producing the
newspaper. Currently, there is only Vt credit per semes-
ter given for publications work. If a course is approved, it
will most likely carry with it a larger number of credits.
We will, however, continue to make strides with
what resources we have to bring you the best newspaper
we can produce.
Sincerely,
Rick Lewis, Editor
PELLE HONORED
The Delaware Valley College Block and Bridle Club
held its annual dinner meeting recently at Bentley's Steak-
house.
Dr. TIbor Pelle was honored by the club on this occa-
sion for 26 years of service as advisor to the club. He was
presented a beautiful watch and plaque, by the president
of the Club, Glenn Michalak, in appreciation for his long
service to the club.
Also on hand as guests of the club were Dr. Feldstein,
President of the College, and Mrs. James Work, Vice-
President for Administrative Affairs.
The guest speaker was Professor Herman Purdy, a
long time personal and professional friend of Dr. Pelle 's.
Purdy, formerly of Penn State University, is an inter-
nationally known livestock judge who spoke to the Ani-
mal Science students about judging livestock in relation
to small agricultural colleges.
APO — Open Meetings
For the next several weeks ALPHA PHI OMEGA
will be conducting open meetings, Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
in the dining hall lounge. We invite anyone Interested in
pledging, to attend. Through APO you will be given an
opportunity to serve your campus and community with
other interested people.
Parking Problems
At the beginning of this last semester the front end
of the student parking lot was lined with smaller spaces
for sub<ompact cars. The size of these spaces was ignored
by most students, and full size cars were present more
often than not. However, signs have now been posted
designating these areas with smaller lined spaces for sub-
compact cars only. These smaller spaces together provide
twelve additional parking spaces. These posted areas will
be strictly enforced according to Mr. Pence, the chief of
security. The parking lot is scheduled to be resurfaced and
rellned next year. This semester will be a trial run to see If
the sub<ompact sectk>n Is feasible. Your cooperation will
be greatly appreciated.

r
Beekeeping Short Course
The College will again be offering two special three
day short courses on beekeeping which are open to both
members of the College Community and to the general
public. The courses are designed to benefit the experienced
beekeeper as well as providing enough information and
experience to enable someone to get started in beekeeping.
The Spring course will be held on Saturday, March 31,
April 7, and 21. The Summer course will be held on
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 22, 23, and 24.
The course is under the direction of Dr. Berthold
who will be assisted by Mr. Jack Matthenius, the New
Jersey Supervisor of Bee Culture. Some of the topics to
be covered are: Honey Bee Ecology, Beekeeping Equip-
ment, Starting with Bees, Colony Establishment and Man-
agement, Queen Rearing, Bee Diseases, Honey Processing
and Sales, and Cooking with Honey. Many of the topics
covered in discussion will also be observed and/or practiced
in the DVC Apiary and Honey House.
In past years, a number of Del Val students and
faculty have taken the course, as well as beekeepers from
as far away as Texas, California, and Canada. Further
information about the course can be obtained from Dr.
Berthold, Room 203, Mandeil Hall (College phone 285).
Grade Your Faculty
During the past semester, the COLLEGIAN has
attempted to serve the student body of DVC in the best
manner possible, by providing information concerning
campus sports, entertainment, activities, and policy. We
would like to ask you to help us now provide a service to
the faculty by telling us your opinion of how well your
professors and Instructors served you. Please list all
faculty members who taught you this past semester,
whether they taught a lecture or a lab, and supply what
you feel is a fair letter grade (A,B,C,D,F) for each one, on
the attached coupon. Clip the coupon and take it to
either the Post Office or the COLLEGIAN office (room
lA-Ulman BIdg.) no later than Friday, February 2, 1979.
If there Is sufficient response, grades will be released
two weeks from now and will be reported giving the
arithmetic mean and the standard deviation. Please
remember that this is neither a grudge match nor a pop-
ularity contest. This is a serious matter and will not
work without everyone's earnest effort.

S P S. . . .if you are interested in people, have a
strong desire u> help others, possess leaderAlp qualities,
like being part of a team and want to grow personnaily,
you «re a natural for what people In higher education
term a Student Personnel Service position. The Resident
Assistant is a student that works for the students and
College as well. In doing the things that come naturally,
the RA gains respect and satisfaction while ^tting paid at
the same time — a deal at half the price!
Here is what some RAs have said about what It Is
like being a RA, . . . ."making everyone realize that they
are not the only ones on the floor and working with them
in adjusting some of their living habits to live with each
other was challenging''^ . ."my goal was to allow everyone
to live In a good atmosphere, I mean letting them know
they can have a good time, but at the same time having
them aware of the rights of others"; "I have helped them
to establish a friendly atmosphere among all, I gained
from that!". .."By promoting more social activities
within the hall, as well as encouraging competition with
groups from other hails, some got more Involved than
they ever would have without my efforts,". . .'There
have been several high points In my job this year. I was
an RA all last year and never felt as food as one night
this year when a guy on the floor came to me and said
he Just had to talk to someone and he didn't know
who else to talk to because he was having several personal
problems, i must be doing the right things, because I've
rince had several come and ulk confidentially. I am
pleased because even If no one else thinks I'm doing a
good job, I know that I have helped a couple of guys
through some hard times and they think I have done a
good job. If I keep the guys on the floor feeling the way
they do and keep the rapport that we have, both openly
and in confidentiality, I will feel I have done my job
well."
Thursday, January 25th has been set aside for you
to talk personally to some of this years RAs about the job
and its rewards. The RAP SESSION will uke place in
Goldman Lounge and begin at 7:30 p.m. Spend an hour
and find out how good it can be.
You may pick up your application from the Resi-
dence Life Office. The application should be completed
and returned to the Residence Life Office on or before
February 9th.

Among the most unusual looking indoor plants
technically called Lltkops, these little button shaped
succulents grow about H to )4 inch in diameter. They're
composed of two fleshy leaves, usually mottled or speck-
led brown, reddish, brown, or a different shade of green.
When grown indoors, they seldom flower. However, white
or yellow flowers resembling small asters are occasionaliy
borne between the leaves.
Although not difflcult to grow, they do have speciflc
cultural requirements which must be satisfied. They
diould receive as much direct sunlight as possible, or elK
grow a few inches from an artlflcial plant growth light.
(A flxture conuining one cool white and one warm white
fluorescent tube is flne.) Water tfiem about once every
two weeks In summer, except when the two leaves split
open to reveal a new pair^ At that time, stop watering
until the older pair of leaves are drivelled and dry. The
new pair of leaves obuins water and nutrients from the
drivelling pair of leaves. Less frequent watering is needed
during the winter months, especially if they're kept at
a cool temperature. None are frost hardy.
Although normally available as plants, they can also
be grown from seeds. The seeds are fine and dustlike, with
the seedlings requiring more water for the first several
months. Patience is also required, since at least two years
are required between seed and flowering size.
There are about 30 species of living stones, plus
teverai related genera that conuin pebble plants; Plants
can be obtained from Ed Storms Inc., Box 775, Azie
Texas, 76020 — 50^. For mail order catalog, an excellent

ED WILLIAMS REVIEW
Wild and crazy perhaps, but enteruining YES! Ed
Williams was a refreshing change for D.V.C. students.
He was able to relate to all who attended, to other stu-
dents. He sang, he joked and told sofld stories and the
audience was captivated. His songs were captivating, his
manner inviting. Ed Williams had us singing and laughing
with him. He uses his own material and some that Is
familiar. Mr. Williams did renditions of itsy Bitsy Spider,
show tunes, "Hello America", his own sex song and many
more. His performance was a mixture of Blues, Bal'/ads,
jokes, and interesting stories. For those who were not
there you missed a great night of enteruinment. For
those who attended they went away relaxed, knowing the
evening was well spent. We all know now who are D.V.C !s
most perverted students.
MR. HANSON
by Janet Kruckow
Mr. Gabriel Hanson is a new teacher to D.V.C. this
year. Fall Semester he taught Eco. I to 225 students In 6
classes varying from 15 to 51 students in a class, in the
future he is teaching Eco. 1, Lit., and Political Science. He
graduated from Augustana College, earned his masters in
Eco. at Vanderbitt University, and completed his course
work and examinations for a doctorate at Princeton
University.
He taught Poly. Sci. at New College in Florida while
he was a graduate student and at Agnes Scott College in
Georgia, an all female college.
He had never taught economics before. His previous
teaching experience was in political science at New Col-
lege and Agnes Scott College. When asked what his moti-
vation for teaching Eco. was, he replied that the class is
mainly a survey course for people who won't take any
further courses in economics, to enable them to understand
the workings of the U.S. economy.
Mr. Hanson experimented with various teaching
methods and approaches during the first semester because
it is a new school, new subject, and new students for him.
He has discovered that professional economists have
interests which are not the interests of students. He's
slowly learning to de-emphasize some economic material
and emphasize material which is more valuable to stu-
dents. Each chapter is a new object for him to tackle.
Students' attitudes toward the course differ. Mr.
Hanson was surprised that his best students were women.
He was expecting the opposite because he thought that
men would be more interested in economics.
When asked about student apathy, Mr. Hanson re-
plied, "Yes, I think there is a lot of apathy, but there is a
lot of apathy on every campus I've ever been on, either as
a teacher or student. Apathy is a routine problem; nega-
tive attitudes are not that much a problem."
Mr. Hanson welcomes student class participation as
well as their constructive criticism. He feels that to be a
success any course must be teamwork between students
and teacher. He sees the teacher's main function to be
helping the students accomplish their learning objectives.
He is looking forward to finding out more about the
college and hopes to move closer to shorten his long
dally commute. He misses being able to come back to
campus evenings or weekends for the occasional varsity
game a winning performance. Meanwhile if any student
is interested carpooiing from around Hightstown, New
jersey, let him know. Extension 276!

POWER TO SHARE
by jIm Magnus
January, 1979 —afresh semester at Delaware Valley
College of Science and Agriculture - a new beginning.
It is a shame that so many people center their lives around
new beginnings. Mistakes and pressures are in the past.
This time you are going to do it all right: get those notes
copied on schedule, prepare for class discussion, budget
your t)eer money, or take a few hours of work in the
cafeteria. Yes, this is the Ideal opportunity to start life
anew, to turn over that withering leaf. Such are the
thoughts of many here on campus.
And, Indeed, It is the ideal opportunity to make a
more determined, a more sincere effort at meeting those
goals you have, for so Ipng, talked about. It is a time for
setting new objectives.
It is an encouraging truth, a blessing if you will,
that we do have so many chances to make a fresh start.
But just as true and much more Important is the fact
that some day all of our new beginnings will be in the
past.
One example of new beginnings has already been
touched upon. That is school. Each year, each semester,
and each time we enter a new school of higher training
we have fresh openings for achievement. But one day, be it
after graduation at D.V.C. or after post-graduate studies,
it will be time to apply all that we've learned In some
manner of occupation. How well we have prepared will
provide us jobs from all ranges of income and responsibility.
A much broader category, one that provides infin-
itely more opportunities, is life itself. One day it will be
our time to move on from this world. And then what?
What will become of all of our accomplishments? Who
will answer for all of our mistakes? What if we never took
advantage of the many openings we had to create our life
anew? These questions and more have preplexed and frus-
trated many scholars, simpletons, executives, common
laborers, students and dropouts.
The artswers to these questions must be sought by
each individual as an individual. These problems are too
often shoved into a hidden closet of one's mind. Don't
close your self off to the new beginning that is waiting to
revolutionize your world. Make this your year, your day
of achievement and reformation.

ARE YOU NOTE-WORTHY?
An imporunt factor in getting good grades in coliege
is your abiiity to Uke clear, well-organized class notes.
Listening carefully to the instructor's lecture and writing
down the important points is the key to succesful note-
Uklng. The process of listening and writing at the same
time will also help you understand. A few basic techni-
ques can help.
The purpose of class notes is to record the instruc-
tor's lesson In a manner that will allow you to review and
undersund the material afterwards. Your objective,
therefore, is to outline the main and supporting ideas and
facts so that they are clear and understandable.
Write rapidly in your own form of shorthand. Don't
try to take down everything - keep to the main points.
Develop your own style of abbreviating and condensing
the important data. Some people leave out vowels, for
instance, or use only the first syllable, and omit articles
and obvious verbs. Common abbreviations and symbols
found In most dictionaries can often be of great help.
instructors' teaching methods will differ. Youll
have to be alert to each one's style and organization.
Often tfiey start each class with an overview or outline
and use It as a framework for their lecture. This, of
course, is a good reason for being punctual.
Outlines, diagrams or lists that Instructors wriu on
the board are usually important. It Is a good idea to
record these In your notebook, unless you know that
the same material is already covered in your textbook.
Indenting and spacing will help make your notes
more readable. Start a new line out to the left for an im-
portant heading. Indent subheads under this and so on.
Surt a new page for each class, with the date and
topic heading the page. When a new major topic or divi-
sion is Introduced, begin another new page so that you
will have enough room to record the appropriate material
under it.
A lined 8V4 x 11 " notebook is recommended. On the
front cover you can paste your work schedule, as well as
your name, address and phone number in case you ever
misplace it. You can keep all your cla« notes, and the
instructor's handouts, in this one book by tabbing sections
for each course. You can also add or delete notes or fresh
paper as you need to. Most students, by the way, find
that notes made In pen are much more legible and durable
then those in pencil.
This article on class notes Is appearing here In two
Installments and is one of a series of AAP STUDENT
SERVICE articles developed by the college textbook
publishers to help students Improve their use of study
time and learning materials. A complimentary booklet
will be sent to you If you write to AAP STUDENT
SERVICE, Association of American Publishers, Inc.,

STUDY TIPS
"Do not heslute to ask an instructor questions.
For example, does he hold you responsible for dates,
names, places, etc.? These are legitimate questions and
most instrictors are quite willing and even pleased to help
a student if that student is really trying."

SORRY GANG!
Unfortunately, due to a lack of student response
to our faculty grading feature, there will be no report
cards for our faculty. As of last count, we have received
a whopping fourty responses which accounts for only
3-1/3% of the student population attending DVC. We
tried to give you an opportunity to express your satis-
faction or dissatisfaction with those who are giving you
your education, but you were obviously not that in-
terested. I would like to thank, however, those people
who did take the time to fill out our little coupon and
take it to the post office.

ACTION AT THE APIARY
The coming of Spring signals the onstart of all kinds
of activity at the Apiary. This includes the workings of
our friends the bees as well as our Apiary Society club
members.
Dr. Robert Berthhold, the club's advisor Is a re-
newed specialist in the honey field. In January he
assisted in judging the New Jersey State Honey Show.
Two members of the club went along to observe the art of
honey judging. The following week a merry group from
the club accompanied "Doc" to the New jersey Bee-
keeper's meiiting. The club apiarists will buzz up to
Sussex coun):y, New jersey to drop in on a commercial
hive operation and then venture to a Buck's county honey
bottling operation. The banquet will probably be held
sometime in March. The menu will feature honey of
course! Support these future beekeepers by buying
honey and honey products.

what ever happened to
COMMUTER CORNER
Our former author of COMMUTER CORNER Is
no longer attending DVC. If there is someone out there
who would like to fill the shoes of this important position
on the paper staff, please come to one of our meetings
held on Monday afternoons at 4:00 in the paper office
in the basement of Ulman Hall, loom 1 A.
DORM LIFE
Dear Editor,
The students of Ulman Second floor would like to
be known that the decision by Mr. Sitarski to relieve Rich
Mullen, R.A., of his duties is not in accord with our own
feelings. We believe that Mr. Sitarski bases his decision on
the grounds that Rich has not emulated proper leadership
techniques.
There is no doubt that there are some difficulties
associated with the hall of Ulman Second but that the
general consensus is that there will be considerably com-
pounded discord if we do not have the presence of Rich
Mullen. It is our opinion that Rich Mullen has properly
fulfilled his duties as R.A. in a way that does not perse-
cute the tenants and yet still hold the esteem of the hall.
It seems to us that Mr. Sitarski does not take a real-
istic view of life on Ulman Second floor. He does not have
any first hand experience on the social structure of
Ulman Second, and does not realize the potential prob-
lems that will arise from the dismissmal of Rich Mullen.
He Is apethetic toward the outcome of his decision being
that he Is leaving Delaware Valley College on February 9,
1979, leaving the problem to his successor.
We appeal to the administration to review this
issue Is an unbiased, realistic approach.
Concerned students of
Ulman Second
Editor's note: After appealing Mr. SItarski's decision,
Rich Mullen was offered a job as R.A. of Elson Hall,
which he refused to accept.
Dear Editor,
I realize that there Is an energy crisis and that we are
supposed to keep the thermostat at 68 degrees Fahrenheit,
or whatever the latest temperature Is. But, there is such a
thing as over-doing it. A case in point is the Birdcage In
Allman Building-there is no heat at all in there. This is
certainly not conducive to learning, or to health. One per-
iod in there is bad enough during the winter months, but
two long periods in a row in there is conducive for catching
pneumonia. This semester twice a week I am required to
sit in this icebox for two long weeks in a row. I find that
at the end of this time, even if I wear long underwear, a
sweater, and keep my coat and hat on, and gloves, that
my fingernail beds have become cyanotic or blue. And
that it takes about 2 hours for me to 'thaw out' after being
subjected to this chilling.
What will it take to have the heating in this room
repaired?
A frozen student
Dear Frozen,
You're Not Kidding! It Is Cold! I spoke with Mr.
Tasker about the situation, and as he explained to me,
there is a problem with some of the system's equipment
which will require a complete re-vamping of the building's
heating unit. This will take place at the end of this school
year, however, he did assure me that a temporary solution
to the problem is being sought.

Last Wednesday night, many early sleepers were jolted
from their beds by a sound reminiscent of the first Con-
federate charge at Bull Run. This uproar of shouts and
rebel yells represented D.V.C's first large-scale snowball
fight of the season, and brought an unusual change of
pace to the usually serene nighttime atmosphere of the
campus.
The ruckus began at approximately eleven-thirty
p.m., when the majority of Elson Hall residents attacked
stray members of Wolfsohn with balls of newly fallen
snow. While Elson moved on to make enemies of the
remaining dorms, a small force from Wolfsohn charged
through the home of the cowboys, leaving a trail o? white
powder behind. A new skirmish errupted between the two
predominatly freshman dorms, and then suddenly hostil-
ities ceased as the two teams allied and set their sights on
Ullman.
Ullman Hall stood well prepared. The combined'
forces of Wolfsohn and Elson, some fifty strong, bom-
barded Ullman with snowballs. Undoubtabiy inspired by
old movies of gladiators pouring boiling oil from the
castle ramparts, the residents of Ullman retaliated by
dumping buckets of water on the attackers below. The
fight ended when several members of Ullman charged
their opponents with garbage pails of water, sending them
back over the snow. Wolfsohn, Elson, and Ullman then
allied. New members joined, and soon a mob of well over
one hundred was storming over the campus, pelting
windows, shouting at the top of their lungs, and charging
past security guards.
The general rampage ended shortly after twelve, but
small individual groups continued wreaking havoc until
well into the morning hours.
EVERYONE'S
FAVORITE TREE
by Steve Silberstein
Here at Del Val, Ginkgo (Maidenhair Tree) is a well
known plant. It is easily recognized by the fan shaped
leaves and the odor of the fruit in the Fall.
It has never been found growing wild, but is believed
to have originated in Northern China. For many centuries
it has been grown in the Temple Gardens of China and
japan, thus preventing it's extinction. Ginkgo is tolerant
of urban conditions and makes a good street tree. Pistil-
late trees are seldom planted due to the fruit's rancid odor.
Some of the trees around Segal Hall are pistillate, and al-
though the outer part of the fruit smells, the pits are
edible after being boiled in water. Anyone interested in
having this delicacy served in the Dining Hall should see
the Food Committee right away!
TIPS ON TRAVEL
by Michael Diamond
One of the first things you must consider while trav-
elling abroad is where you are going to sleep. Sure, there's
the woods or even a hotel. But your best bet is a youth
hostel. It is a sure way to meet fellow travelers your own
age. I've stayed in youth hpstels throughout America,
Europe, and the Middle East and have found them to be
quite comfortable. I travelled in Canada this past summer
from the east coast to the west coast. For 50^ a da> , I got
breakfast, dinner, and a place to sleep for the night. They
were in every town in every province. For $10.00 vou can
be a member of American Youth Hostels. I highly recom-
mend it if you want to do some travelling. The address is:

ARE YOU NOTE-WORTHY?
Part II
it Is best to write on the right-hand pages only. You
can then make your own study, review or textboolc notes
on the left-hand pages.
jotdown questions as they occur to you In cla» and
hold them for die appropriate moment. They might be
answered or become unimportant in a few minutes. But if
not, youll want to have them answered either in class or
later.
Be alert to the Instructor's tone, emphasis or ques-
tions. Thesemay be clues to things that will appear on an
exam. For example, if Professor Smith says, "Five import-
ant reasons for the treaty were ..." or Remember now
. . . ", you can be sure those are things to be recorded.
Class lectures and textbook assignments do not al-
ways parallel each other. Your class notes will reflect the
instructor's approach to the topic, but you might find it
helpful to make additional notes from your textbook on
the left-hand page across from your class notes.
Design your notetaking system so that you have suf-
ficient room to record the instructor's material, your
reading notes AND your review notes on one page to two
oppsite pages.
Remember, review your ciais notes as soon as
possible after the session has ended. In this way you'll be
able to correct, clarify or fill-in where necessary. This re-
view time will also b« critical In helping you remember
the class material when It is fresh in your mind.
On style of notetaking, developed at Cornell Univer-
sity, has been very helpful to students. On every right-
hand page, draw a verticlal line from top to bottom, 2)4
inches in from the left side. In class use the large 6 inch
column on the right for recording the lecture material.
After class and during study times, use the smaller left-
hand column for making your own review notes. By
marking down the key word, idea or fact, it can help you
remember what you are studying and iielp you review
for exams. Some students fmd it helpful to use a colored
marker or pen during review to underline the Important
words or phrases.
Completing textbook or reading assignments before
eacii class will help minimize notetaking in class. You
will know whether the material under discussion Is in the
text or not. You will already have underlined the im-
portant ideas in the book, so you won't have to duplicate
these same facts write "refer to textbook chapter."
Typing or rewriting notes is normally a waste of time,
if they are legible, accurate and complete It is much more
productive to spend your time reviewing the notes, read-
ing your text and keeping up every day and every week
with your studies.
This feature is one of a series developed for students by
college testbook publishers. A booklet on this subject can
be obttined free by writing to AAP STUDENT SERVICE,
Association of American Publishers, Inc., One Park
Avenue, New York, NY 10016. Other booklets in this
series arc: HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR

ING SKILLS.
STUDY TIPS
"The more time you permit to elapse between study
and a test of what you have learned, the less you will re-
member it. In planning your schedule, make time for
studying each subject as close as possible to the time its
class meets."

AUDUBON FILM
Bucks County Audubon Society presents "The
Marsh- A Quiet Mystery," a film narrated by naturalist
Tom SUrling, as part of Its 1979 Film Tour Series. The film
will be shown at 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 10, at the
Council Rock Intermediate School Auditorium in New-
town.
From winter through fall, the marsh is home for deer,
coyote, sandhill cranes, Bufflehead, and Woodducks. Male
bullfrogs fight for territory along tfie shoreline. These are
only a small part of life on the vanishing acres of interior
and coastal wetlands in the U.S. Tom Sterling reflects his
fascination with life in the marshlands and his dedication
to solving environmental problems through education.
KEHOE. McSHEA
SPARK VICTORY
by Paul Stanziaie
On Tuesday, January 30, the Del Val varsity basket-
ball team pulled off an exciting last minute victory over
the Scranton Royals 93 - 90. The Aggies led at the end of
the first half by Scranton took control most of the second
half. In the final minutes, steals by Tom Kehoe ted Del
Val to their comeback from a six point deficit and saving
what first appeared to be an Aggie choke. With seconds
remaining, Jim Mcshea made a critical save denying the
Royals of any chance to win.
Scoring for the Aggies were Tom Kehoe 28 points,
|lm Mcshea 25, jim Mitchell 12, Bill Walter 8, Tom Walsh
and Mark Werkiser each had 6, Mark Tymes 4, and Tom
Robinson 2.
The last game is Wednesday, February 1 4, (Valen-
tine's Day), at home at 8:30. BE THERE!
MITCHELL CLOSES ON 1000
by Paul Stanziaie
At the time this article was written, Aggie basketball
standout Ken Mitchell only needed 8 points to become
the seventh student in Delaware Valley's history to Kore
a career 1000 points. Ken has been shooting 58% from
the field and is the team's second leading rebounder. A
presenution will be made for Ken at the Aggies final
game of the season on February 14, in the James Work
Gymnasium before the game. Everyone in this school
should make it a point to be there. A fellow student
deserves plenty of recognition for this outstanding
achievement, if you have not been to any games, please at
least come to this one, it's special.
ROBERTSON. SHULL
PACE AGGIES
by Seh Cassero
Warren Robertson and Art Shuil manhandled their
opponents as the Aggie wrestlers cruised by Kings College,
to continue their winning ways. Art Shull put on a display
of wrestling technique while, annihilating his opponent
24-2. It was no contest as Art dominated from beginning
to end. Other victories were by: Dave Zawisa, dec; Craig
Edgerton, forfiet; Tony Novak, dec; Al Kurnlath, dec;
Paul Pearson, pin; Mike Danis, dec. Losing close matches
were Greg Peltz and Jeff Bartolomew.
However, the highlight of the night was Warren
Robertson pinning his opponent as he has done so many
times before. He has recently gone over 100 victories in
his career and, is one of the area's best wrestlers. He seems
to be a sure favorite in the upcoming dedication, and
inner self-confidence attributing for his past success; his
record of victories speaks for Itself. He seems to bring rise
to the occasion. But, one thing is for sure, if Warren says
he'll win, you can believe he can back up his words.
WOMAN CAGERS
The women cagers of Delaware Valley College dis-
covered a new sense of drive Monday evening as they de-
feated Munlenberg College 83-51 on their home court.
Both teams exhibited their ability to shoot as they
exchanged baskets throughout the first half. On occasion
the Lady Aggies gained advantages on turnovers and led at
half time 33 - 26.
Three Delaware Valley players scored in double
figures; Patti Rissinger, Sacremento, who led all scorers,
tallied 19 points, followed by Diane Windholz, Doyles-
town. Pa. 16. Marge Gay, a reserve forward netted 10, a
career high. Miss Gay is from Palmyra, New jersey.
Karen Knodt scored 18 points for the "Mules",
while Liza Bail added 9.

NOTICE: The opinions expressed in any individual article do not necessarily represent the viewpoint of the paper or of the school.
FOOD FOR
THOUGHT
LETTERS
On Wednesday, February 7, M. Wood catering ser-
vice presented a lunch buffet to the students. When the
doors opened at 11:43, there was a feast laid out that
would have made any mouth water. With soft rolls and
cold cuts the students were free to make their own sand-
wiches. For the heartier appetites there were hot meat-
balls to be served in hoagie rolls. This was truly a meal to
be remembered. Mr. David Moycr, manager of the David
Levin Dining Hall, is one man who will never forget.
What should have been a picnic relief from nerve-raclcing
classes turned out to be a chaotic frenzy. Wild with delight
from an unexpected cancelling of afternoon classes, the
students took far too much advantage of what could have
been a good thing for all. A total of 750 students con>
sumed altogether 400 lbs. of various meats and cheeses,
60 lbs. of meatballs, 90 dozen rolls, 40 loaves of bread,
and 200 red beet eggs. Per student that is an average of
.S3 lbs. of various meats and cheeses, 1/12 lbs. of meat-
balls, 1V^ rolls, 214 slices of bread, and a quarter of an
egg to boot. That is a pretty mean appetite.
But then we all know that not that much food was
eaten at one time. The amount of waste that people
dumped into the dish room left over on their trays was
ridiculous. It would have been no miracle for Jesus'
disciples to have gathered twelve baskets of leftovers from
this crowd.
And then there is the matter of theft. Much food
was wrapped in napkins and plastic bags to be saved for
a later date. What an opportunity to stock up a Gem
refrigerator.
This is not funny though. It is not cool to waste or
steal food. You wonder why boarding bills rise. Each
person that allows this theft and neglect to happen is as
guilty as the acting party.
Needless to say, the food got a high rating by all who
attended. Asked if he would consider providing another
such buffet, Mr. Moyer replied with devotion to his
patrons, "Probably."
AUDOBON
On Tuesday, March 6, at the Bucks County Audubon
Society's regular membership meeting. Donald and Esther
Phillips will present an informative ornithology program.
The presentation will include slides of many different
species along with nests, eggs, and the species' young.
Mr. Phillips will have available a limited edition print
of Canada Geese and his book, OWLS BY DAY AND
NIGHT, which he illustrated and co-authored.
The public is invited to the meeting which begins
at 8:00 p.m. in the Feldman Building of Delaware Valley
College in Doylestown. Further information can be
obtained at 943-3168.
Dear Editor,
At the beginning of the semester a notice was pub-
lished in this newspaper concerning the Sub-Compact
section of the parking lot. As I recall this article indicated
strict enforcement of the Sub-Compact only area. Since
then many cars have been ticketed for being too large for
the section. The ticketing of cars is not my complaint
because strict enforcement was promised by the Chief of
Security. My complaint in the inconsistency of their
ticketing. On one occasion a mustang was not considered
a sub-compact and was consequently ticketed. On a second
occasion it was not ticketed for being in a sub-compact
space. As a concerned student as I'm sure others feel I
would like to see the policy be followed consistently.
RAILROAD CLUB
A couple of years ago a railroad club was organized
on this campus with the intention of promoting the
growing hobby of model railroading. Since then we have
constructed a layout, which currently measures 10 x 21
feet. Our meetings are every Tuesday night at 6:30, and
we meet in the basement of the Administration Building,
(the small building next to the Allman Building, and the
entrance is around back). So if you are interested in Model
Railroading or just curious, come out to a meeting, and
see us.

the Dining Hall lounge for a short devotional. Following is
a fellowship breakfast. We are looking forward to having
you along.
OBSERVATIONS
by Tom Umrath
Friday night disco move over, you've been outdone.
The standard weekend dance was replaced last Friday by
a taste of good old southern honky-tonk anarchy, as the
country-rock band Cowtown picked Its way into the
hearts of a packed house.
The evening was pasted with fast-paced repertories of
tunes by famous southern rock bands: Charlie Daniels,
Lynyrd Skynyrd, New Riders, The Outlaws, and The
Ozark Mountain Daredevils, to name a few. Among the
more well-received selections were the classic Flatt A
Scruggs tune "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" "Rocky
Top, Tennessee," and an outstanding rendition of
Skynyrd's "Free Bird," which stirred the audience Into a
frenzy.
Shortly before the concert began, a banner reading
"Cowtown: Death To Disco," was paraded before the
crowd. The reaction of the band's steel guitarist typified
that of the spectators. He summed it up in one word,
"AiriiligggghhhhtttH" The banner was received with
thunderous applause by the audience, who finally got
their chance to strike back. For more than a year now we
have been bombarded by the media with disco records,
dance lessons, TV shows, commercials, magazine articles,
and the music itself. Last Friday the other side was heard.
By the third set of the evening Cowtown had elated
Its audience into a mood which is rarely witnessed in the
presence of flashing lights and electronic music. Although
considered a concert, the electric fiddle and banjo had the
masses stomping, screaming, and dancing on every empty
foot of the floor, on chairs and on tables. The rythmic
clapping and whooping to the music never stopped.
The evening passed quickly, and althou^ some of
the audience lost interest, most stayed and had a fantastic
night. Owing to the tremendous reception of the per-
formance, it would not be unjustified to say that Cow-
town is welcome back any time.

BLOOD
Once again the American Red Cross is aslcing for
your blood. Thanlcs to the cooperation of the students
and faculty last semester's goal of 200 pints was easily
exceeded. Blood donation is a chance for you to do some-
thing for others. It's easy, quick, and there is no commit-
ment involved. If you gave blood last semester enough
time has passed and you can safely give again. If at all
possible please give this semester. The goal this semester is
100 plus pints. That should be easy since last semester
over 200 pints were donated in the amount of time.
The Blood drive is scheduled for February 22 from 9:30
to 2:30 in the old gym. Please come out and give your
time and your blood.

With graduation looming before us, be It two or
three years in the future or be it three and a half months
away, a queitlon haunts many of us with an every in-
creasing intenrity.
"Will I ever get married?"
Unfortunately many people latch on to the first
thing with two legs that comes their way. This has led to
;a hi^ rate of broken engagements and, worse yet, broken
marriages. Because of tfte alarmingly high sutistics of di-
vorce in the U.S.A., many have taken to living together
on a trial and error basis before making any binding
commitments. This type of relationship is most often too
shallow to lead into anything permvient. As a result
people are plagued with Inconsistent life-styles and
neurasthenia (nervous breakdowns). The results are
notoriously characteristic of yesterday's generatiop. To-
day there are movements and organizations to put mar-
ria^ back into its proper perspective. There are many
tNwks (Hit by scholars across the nation that have experi-
ence With counseling problem mairlai^s. If you think, or
even know, tfiat you have found the one with whom you
wish to spend the rest of your earthly life. It will be to
both of your advantaips to get an Insight into what may
be ahead of you. You will get out of marriage what you
decide to put into it. Don't pass this phase of life off just
as being the next progressive step towards eternity.

BLOOD DRIVE
Once again DVC pulled through, by surpassing lu
goal for the amount of blood donated through the Red
Cross Bloodmobile. This spring's drive netted 111 pints
which was 11 pints over the expected goal. Mrs. Cornell,
the nurse, thanked all those who gave blood and the RA's
and APO for helping with registration sign-ups. Next fail
there will be another drive which Is hoped to be even
more successful.
NEW SHOES
by Anne Hassoldt
There has recently been a change in the staff at DVC
Mr. Steven Zcnko has been appointed Acting Director of
Residence Life replacing Mr. SiUrski as Director. Mr.
Zenko has been at Del Vail for some time. He was a
Student here, graduating In 1969 and has been in the
Admissions Office until recently. The Collegian inter-
viewed Mr. Zenko about his new position.
My first question was "How do you feel about your
new position?" Mr. Zenko's reply was positive. He said
that "it was a definite step up and will be a challenge".
He also liked the change and that it still offered him the
chance to work with the students and deal with their
questions and problems. He did feel it was time for a
change in his career and he looks forward to this new
career. Having been a student here I, asked him if this
would help him in any way. His reply was that it would
definitely be a positive aspect. He also said that the
philosophy of the college has changed since he was a
student, but for the better. The college has become
Co-ed which he feels has been a definite plus. Mr, Zenko
was also a Resident Assistant for three years so he feels
that he can see both sides of the story and deal with
problems for the benefit of both sides, A question I felt
was important was if he foresaw any changes in student
policy. His reply was that there would not be any im-
mediate changes in the policies proposed by Mr. SiUrski.
During the summer new policies will' be developed and
installed. A major issue concerning students and student
life is the proposal of the 21 dorms. When asked how he
felt about this, Mr. Zenko's reply was favorable. He feels
it is a step in the right direction and also means progress
not only for the administration, but also for the students.
These proposals are a good start to giving 21 year olds the
rights they are entitled too. It is not near finialization but
should be by pre-registration. He docs ask that students
feel free to come to him with suggestions and problems
concerning themselves and student life on campus, I was
very comfortable around him and also encourage students
to Ulk with our new Director of Resident Life. When
asked about why he was chosen and what are his duties
to be Mr. Zenko referred me to Mr, Robert ), Tasker,
Dean of Students,
I went to see Mr. Tasker and asked him these ques-
tions, his reply was that he felt Mr. Zenko was the best
choice for the job. He feels that It Is best to fit the job to
the right person and reviewing Mr. Zenko's background
Mr. Tasker felt It was the right choice. After talking with
both men I agree with the choice and I believe other
students will agree. Mr, Tasker was also able to explain
some of the duties of this position. They Include, pri-
marily to administer the total housing program. This
also Includes administering and supervising the Residence
Hall SUff Program throughout the various housing units,
administering room assignments which reflect fairness,
accuracy and accountability. Another responsibility is
offering counseling to students concerning personal
matters. There are several other responsibilities included
in the position; these ar'e the main ones. Both men feel
the position has been well filled and that all will continue
to run smoothly. As a student, I feel Mr, Zenko's appoint-
ment will be a definite asset for the students and student
life as well as an asset to the college. We all wish Mr.
Zenko the best and continued success.
FOUNDERS DAY
Founders Day this semester will be observed on
March 6th and will be recognized by a convocation at
3:30 in the Rudley Neuman Gym. The program will be
presided by Larry Middleton '64 who Is currently the
chairman of the Board of Directors of the College. The
address will be given by senior Rabbi Bertrum Korn of
the Reformed Congregation, Keneseth Israel. All stu-
dents and faculty are welcome to attend the program
honoring Dr. Krauskopf and Dr. Work.
CHRISTIAN INTEREST
by |im Magnus
The DVC Christian Fellowship has recently gone
through a period of re-evaluation and reorganization. It
is now bigger and better than ever. On Friday, Febru-
ary 23, we had 24 students show up, for fellowship in
prayer, song, and a Gospel message. Meetings will be
every Friday night at 7:00. Bring your selves and your
roommates. Speakers and programs will be arranged.
A COMMENTARY
by R. Solomon
March 14, 1979 is the 100th anniversary of the
birth of Albert Einstein, and all periodicals of general
readership are getting in their stories about him. And
inevitably, after only honoring the debt modern science
owes him, the tumultuous change he brought to our
understanding of the universe, and his historic letter to
FDR concerning the Nazis and the "A"-bomb, they do
not fail to mention that Albert Einstein did not regularly
wear socks.
I've beset myself to wondering which of these Is
most important to us. He stands perhaps larger as a mon-
ument to our dependence on social form than as an
exemplary instance of the human capacity to think and
to create.
It seems that more of our personal energies go to the
appeasement of social detail than to those activities which
are unique to conscious beings. And our institutions are
often swifter to avenge the breaking of the code than they
are to acknowledge the accomplishments of the human
mind. And we at DVC are not alone in submitting to this
omnipresent code; in our society, it is pervasive.
More is involved than mismatched socks.
We are "educated" in an atmosphere much stronger
in structure than in content. We can be shuffled through
classes by attendance, pass exams by regurgitation of
codified but meaningless ink-scratchings, and graduate
by persistence. Structure is somewhat inevitable in any
underuking, but we face a serious moral demise when we
permit it to dominate content as it often (not always)
does here. It is a mechanism which permits and encour-
ages us to absolve ourselves from responsibility for our
education and enlightenment by passing the buck. We
can attain a certificate of achievement that belies our
lack of true, self-guided individual achievement.
But It is possible for an individual to be more than a
preassembled, half-programmed, graduated biomachine. It
is past due time that we took our noses out of the sports
column, out of the gossip column, and put our ears and
minds to the pulse of our lives. Bucky Fuller aptly calls
this "local focus, hocus pokus". Our understanding of the
universe ought not be scarred by association with curric-
ulum, and course-outline ought not be mistaken for the
horizons of truth. Failing calculus does not predetermine
a loathing for mathematics so much as it indicates i fail-
ure of the student/classroom/teacher subsystem to
function.
It is important that one man at least transcended the
color of his socks to speculate on the nature of time,
matter, and energy, and the relationship between man and
nation, and the essence of eternity.
POWER TO SHARE
by The Slove
Through observing the flow of traffic Into the Nurse's
office a pattern would be noticed, A sudden rush of pa-
tients during the rainy season may denote an outbreak of
colds. Other such 'bugs' seem to break out in epidemics
the send similar throngs In to absorb the demlnlshing sup-
plies of antibiotics and pain relievers. There is one disease,
however, that seems to have a steady flow of victims. If
observed closely enough It may even be seen to form a
gradually increasing slope. This disease Is loneliness.
Whether loneliness storms from physical (sexual)
deprivation, lack of social life, menUl or physical deform-
ities, or personal disasters (death of friend, pregnancy,
etc.), It always strikes home to the heart. Though most
diseases are Ueated by removing the source, loneliness
must be treated from the inside out.
Before treatment for loneliness can begin, one must
be equipped with proper tools. These tools are not mechan-
ical instruments that can be bought but, rather, are gifu
and feelings that must be developed. Often a soft expres-
sion or a warm hand will do the job but usually an open
ear and an open heart are essential.
There are many on this campus, right here at DVC,
that arc suffering from the various levels of depression
from loneliness. To conquer this disease we must shatter
our shallow relationships and open up to the true beauty
of loving each other as friends. We must reach out to
those that are weaker than us and guide them into the
ranks. For those of us that are suffering from loneliness
ourselves, we must deny ourselves and, again, reach out to
those even weaker souls. This may seem like an unneces-
sary risk to our stability, but infact, we must walk out on
a limb before we can picic the fruit.

CAMPUS GLIMPSES
by Tom Umrath
Whether we realize it or not, last week all were sub-
ject to an annual form of torture known as the February
Thaw, This thaw usually hits around the twentieth with
a day or two of warm weather and brilliant skies. Al-
though not nearly as outrageous as hurricanes, tornadoes,
or the like, the thaw, and what follows it, rank high on
the list of natural depressants to the human spirit.
This year's thaw was one of the less spectacular, yet
it had the same affect on winter-weary students as any
others. With the sudden increase in temperature, the high
level of tension resulting from weeks In cramped quarters
was suddenly broken.
The balmy air began to work on the mind. Lulled
into the impression that one would not see his breath in
the morning for at least the next half year, we though
ahead. The athletes were already making plans: playing
baseball on spongy emerald grasson cool April afternoons,
hitting tennis balls in the warm spring dusk, or jogging
down a green country road at night. Farmers itched to
plow the once frozen earth for the first time, to watch
the fields spring to life again. Even the most dedicated
students can't say they didn't push aside their studies for
just a while to stare out of the window and dream about
that brief time of the year between freezing cold and
blistering heat.
You had only to open your window on that warm
Wednesday evening nine days ago and all of a sudden it
all came back: the feeling of a balmy spring night,
lounging on a street corner in shirtsleeves, and driving
with the windows open. Yes, spring seemed to be just
around the corner, until you made the mistake of turning
on your stereo, only to be snapped back to reality.
"WMMR Accu weather calls for increasingly cloudy skies
with decreasing temperatures and a chance. . . ." Then
you remembered, it was only mid-February. Ahead lay
more cold, more raw, miserable weather, and the frigid
gales of March. All at once, the prospect of outdoor
greenery seemed a long way off.

THINGS TO DO:
GREASEBAND
50's EXPLODE
When was the last time you can remember that
you "rocked around the clock until broad daylight?"
If you can't remember the last time you wore your
saddle shoes and dirndl skirt or tucked a cigarette pack in
the sleeves of your shirt, then you'd better not miss the
chance to get greased up Friday, March 9 when the
"Fabulous Greaseband Rock 'n Roll Revue" will be
appearing at a dance/concert here at OVC.
Admission is $1.00 for Class of '79 members, $2.00
for other DVC students and $3.50 for others.
Starting out as a high school band five years ago the
Greaseband is on its way to national acclaim. They are
visually and musically entertaining, well rehearsed, care-
fully managed, talented, intelligent and energetic. The
band is often compared to Sha Na Na however, members
of the band believe there are great differences. "We don't
soup up any of the oldies, we try to do them authen-
tically. Our audience wants to hear the oldies the way
they are supposed to be done.
The band will revive the sound of such groups as
the Coasters, Drifters, Beach Boys, Dion and the Bel-
monts plus many, many more.
So if you want a really fun night out rock'n and
roH'n, hop'n and hop'n, don't miss the "Fabulous Grease-
band".

because of a lack of funds. Don't worry about it too
much though; we're trying to think of ways to raise the
money and if you would like to be of help, just read next

VOLUME XII NUMBER 19
FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1979
NOTICE: The opinions expressed in any individual article do not necessarily represent the viewpoint of the paper or of the school.
Maynard Ferguson emits radiant energy as he
captivated his fans at the Wednesday
night concert.
MAYNARD FERGUSON
SHEER ENERGY
by Tom Urn rath
True to the word of pre-concert publicity, Maynard
Ferguson succeeded in captivating a packed-to-the-rafters
audience last Wednesday night. Although the combina-
tion of five trumpets, two drummers, six other players,
and a frantic crowd brought the volume close to that of
an artillery duel, the performance was still a treat for any-
one with the slightest interest in modern jazz.
The audience, composed of both Delaware Valley
students and local fans, spent the evening in total enjoy-
ment and appreciation of Ferguson's performance. Need-
less to say, such a response is not brought on by a tribe of
stonefaced zombies who stay riveted to one spot on the
sUge all night. The enthusiastic band captivated the on-
lookers for nearly three hours with its powerful, magnetic
skill.
The only disappointment expressed with the con-
cert was that Ferguson failed to play some of his more
popular tunes, namely "Chameleon" and "Country
Road." Yet although the selections presented were un-
familiar, they wer<; eagerly accepted by the audience.
The theme from "Rocky," played as an encore, brought
the screaming fans to their feet, and helped to confirm
that the concert was a tremendous success, (aesthetically,
but not financially.)

are Important. Deadline dates of April and May 1st are
fast approaching -don't delay!! The Student Financial
Aid Office is bursting with information and applications.
IRAN, A CHANGE FOR
THE BETTER ?
by Micheal Sobel
The recent turmoil and turn over of events in Iran
hjis many political and moral implications, not only for
herself, but for the rest of the world as well.
The government under the Shah as well as The Shah
himself was corrupt. The tactics used by his administra-
taion did not follow any sort of moral or ethical code.
However, it must be kept, in our minds that an extra-
ordinary series of developments brought about by this
man led Iran .o be one of the most technologically
advanced countries in the Middle-East, as well as the
rest of the world. A tremendous leap in her economy has
also taken place.
Of course all these benefits do not out weigh the
moral breakdown of his administration. However, the
present revolution is certainly far from the answer to an
Oppressive rule of the Shah,.
The ideology expressed by the Ayatollah represents
an unjust, one-sided system, essentially blocking out all
ideas that are not Islamic, the non-Islamic inhabitants
now living in Iran will certainly not be equal to their
fellow Islamic citizens.
Iran Is taking a step 700 years backwards into time.
She is essentially against every political and social, as well
as economic, idea expressed by the West.
The recent revolution in Iran is not the answer to the
troubled government led by the Shah. A socially, just sys-
tem, as well as equality for all of Iran's citizen's is the
change Iran should be striving for.

EXHIBITING PLANTS
IN FLOWER SHOWS
by Steve Silverstein
With the Philadelphia Flower Show and A-Day
quickly approaching, it's time to consider entering your
Housepiant(s) in the competitive classes. The plant
doesn't have to be large or rare and you don't have to be
an expert. However, there are a number of things you can
do to help make an ordinary plant a show quality specimen.
Of course it should be free of Insects and diseases.
Prune off or trim any dead, dying, or blemished leaves
and flowers. Rinse the plant in luke warm water to remove
any dust or visible traces of insecticide. African Violets
and other hairy leaved plants can be cleaned the same way,
but it is especially important to let them dry in a warm,
shady area to prevent permanent leaf spotting. Foliage
and any flowers should appear symmetrical unless pur-
posely grown otherwise. This is very important with
African Violets and other Rosette-forming plants. Stems
should not be bare and straggly. The plant should be in
good proportion to it's pot and the pot should be clean.
It's an unwritten rule that plants in clay pots score higher
than equal quality plants in plastic pots. Size and rarity
are of secondary importance.
Take a chance and enter your favorite plant. You
might just win a ribbon, but even if you don't, you will
have had the experience of participateing in a Flower
Show.
Dear Editor,
Regarding the letter appearing in "Commuter Cor-
ner" in the December 8th issue of the COLLEGIAN
concerning social activities programming, I too agree
that commuters should have some concern for enter-
tainment expenditures on this campus. The commuters
are not getting their money's worth out of the social
events sponsored by Student Government, financed
through the Student Government fee and a percentage of
the Activities fee paid by each student. Commuter attend-
ance at events has always been poor. Commuters are
about one third of the college population; and if they
attended events in proportion to the rest of the student
body, these functions would be enjoyed by more people
and the money spent on the events would be done so
more wisely.
True, the majority of these events, expensive and
inexpensive, are held in the evening and necessitate the
commuters having to return to campus to attend them.
Commuters travel back to their own school to see pro-
grams at reasonable rates. Evidently many do not feel like
returning to the college after being here for classes, hence
many (most) commuters do not attend.
This then brings to mind the Daytime programs
that have been put on for the last few semesters. Most
of them took place in Segal Hall during lunch hours, and
still some were poorly attended while others attracted
only the attention of the small number of people in the
room at the time. So, our feeling is why have big expen-
sive programs during the day when the Daytime Programs
we do have are poorly attended.
Concerning the statement that commuters should
not be ignored (whatever that means); they are not. In
fact, they are the ignorer most of the time. They ignore,
for the most part, stacks of student government minutes,
COLLEGIANS and "This Week on Campus" in Segal
Hall. Also a good number of the calenders placed in the
commuter mailboxes (yes, each of you has one) in Ulman
Hall are either thrown away or never picked up. Signs
advertising upcoming events are always posted in Segal
Hall and classroom buildings, not just the Dorms and the
Dining Hall. With all the effort made to publicize events
through the aforementioned methods, how can anyone
say the commuters are ignored?
Another statement concerned a "College Hour"
during which no classes would be scheduled and programs
could be put on for all to enjoy. This is a fine idea and
will be brought up before Student Government; but until
the long process of instituting such a change can be
approved and initiated the situation will, unfortunately
have to remain the way it is.
In conclusion I believe that equal attention has been
offered to all, and there will continue to be equal demand
for student fees. Commuters do not enjoy the same
benefits as resident students because they do not take
advantage of them; not because they are taken advantage
of by Student Government. I agree, commuters are at a
disadvantage living off campus and having to drive every-
where. Do the majority of them a/low this to work to
their detriment? I believe they do. I am tired of hearing
that commuters are "left out of everything". The respon-
sibility for allowing themselves to be left out, lies with the
commuter and no one else.
Sincerely,
Kyle Kemp
Chairman of the House of
Social Activities,
Student Government.

INTRAMURAL
WEIGHTLIFTING
COMPETITION
by Scott Abrams
An exciting and competitive intramural sport that is
seldom experienced at Del Val is power lifting. This year,
the weightlifting club is promoting this potentlaliy
fascinating and successful event in the hopes of encour-
aging all of those student weightlifters to put all of their
strength and good effort toward a vigorous, breath taking,
and self rewarding challenge.
Last year, DVC challenged Montgomery County
Community College to a similar face to face challenge,
with our school pulling in a hard, well faught victory. This
year, we would like to see the same spirit, sportsmanship,
and effort prevail, but this time as an intramural sport.
The time and date of the competition is tenta-
tively set for sometime late In April.
In addition to this event, we are re-establishing
the previously defunct "300" club. Students become
memt>er$ by demonstrating their weightlifting ability by
bench pressing 300 or nrrore pounds. In addition to club
membership, they also get their name engraved on a
plaque in the Gym lobby showcases. For details regarding
either activity, please contact Scott Abrams or )im
Bardsley in Uiman 105, or attend the organizational
meeting on Thursday, March IS, at 7:00 in the basement
of Segal Hall.
TRAVEL TIPS
by Michael Diamond
With the weather being as miserable as it is, I suggest
v^e take a trip to Jamaica, West Indies. Round trip fare
from Philadelphia is about $250. If you want to drive to
Miami, Florida round trip is $100. Book a flight to
Montego Bay, because the other airport located in Kings-
ton is bad news. Kingston has some of the worst crimes in
the world, whereas Montego Bay is pretty mellow.
The' average temperature in Jamaica is 85 degrees
farenheit, and of course you are surrounded by an in-
credible plush, tropical, mountainous landscape. The
people are beautiful and their language. Pigeon English,
is equally beautiful combined with and English and
African dialect.
As we move along the coast from Montego Bay via
local buses (taxis will rip you off) we come to Ocho Rios
which you II want to visit with its incredible waterfalls.
After this you'lJ want to see Port Antonio with its primi-
tive fishermen the Rasts Faris, descendants of very primi-
tive Ethiopian tribe. For about $2.00 per night just about
any family will let you stay with them in Port Antonio's
hills just above the beach. If you enjoy camping, I sug-
gest you try a campground called Strawberry Hills. If
you want the feeling of the country, check out a town
called Negril. Negril has a seven mile strip of beach with
incredible snorkeling and fishing. The villagers will be glad
to take you into their homes for about $3.00 a night
including breakfast, rum, and all the gauga you can
smoke. There is a bar in Negril that comes to life from
8:00 pm to 2 00 am where you can dance to the best
reggae music all night long.
WORD OF CAUTION: Although Jamaica has gauga
(marijuana) everywhere for about $2.00 per ounce, it
is highly illegal and the authorities would not hesitate
to lock you up if they found gauga among your posses-
sions.
Jamaica is the most beautiful tropical island I've ever
visited. In fact I lived there for three months and found it
very difficult to leave. The history and landscape of the
country is endless.
I hope to see you next winter sunning on the Negril
Beach, and when I do, the beer's on me.

be present to discuss and answer questions about the agri-
chemical field. See you at the show!
COMMUTER CORNER
Dear Commuter Corner,
As a Freshman commuter I have just experienced my
first winter at DVC. The major comment, I feel, that
needs to be made Is that the conditions of the parking lots
were disgraceful. The packed snow and Ice made driving
extremely hazardous to the students forced to park their
cars under these conditions.
Is it too much to ask that snow removal be more
efficient. The cinders that were spread along the lanes had
little or no effect on the driving conditions on campus.
Salt, on the other hand, would have at least started to
melt the ice and decrease the probability of accidents. I
can safely say that the fender bender that I had could
have been avoided if the lot had been cleared correctly.
t propose that a more conscientious method of
snow removal be employed, or that each student be
equipped with a bag of rock salt.
The fees we pay at this college should entitle us to
the safest po»ible conditions. If not then classes should
be canceled until the parking lot conditions are brought
under control.
Hopefully, next year will bring about a few changes
so that we won't have to worry about poor driving condi-
tions, or getting to class on time.
Thank you,
A Concerned Student
Commuters,
Though we realize the problems with the parking lot
situation, we must keep in mind that the past snowfall
was particularly heavy. In a snowfall that heavy, there are
only so many places that the snow can be pushed. This
presents a great problem in snow removal. If school had
been closed until the snow was removed it would have
cost us class time and money to have the snow hauled
away. The cinders are our cheapest way of helping the
driving situation. The salt spreading, which is more expen-
sive, will be looked into for next winter's conditions.

DANIS FINISHES
ALL AMERICAN
by Seb Cassero
Six DVC wrestlers competed in the N.C.A.A. Wres-
tling Tournament held last weekend at Humbolt College
In Areata, California. Although all wrestlers had good
showing, there was one definite standout.
Mike Danis a senior, placed 8 out of 32 qualifiers
In the 167 pound weight class. In doing so, Mike became
an ALL-AMERICAN, which in itself is a very prestegious
honor, and not a bad way to end an excellent college
career. Mike's been very consistent all year long; He
wrestles with a lot of technique but, that's not to say he
isn't physical, He's just real smooth. At any rate,wayto be
Mike, we're real proud of you.
Other action saw Dave Zawisza, 118 pounds lose his
first match; Art Shull had to withdraw from the tourna-
ment due to an injury suffered in practice. Paul Pearson
made it to the third round before being eliminated in the
158 pound weight class. At 177, Warren Robertson won
two matches before being defeated and Jeff Bartholomew
lost in the second round of the heavyweight division.
Congratulations to all the competitors, especially
seniors Mike Danis, Art Shull, and Dave Zawisza; And
returning sophomores Paul Pearson, Warren Robertson,
and |eff Bartholomew.

MITCHELL
SURPASSES 1000
On Thursday, February 8, in Madison New jersey.
Junior student Ken Mitchell became the seventh basket-
ball player irt Del Val's history to exceed 1000 Points.
The magic basket came against Fairleigh Dickinson Uni-
versity near the end of the first half.
Ken finished this season with a 19 point scoring aver-
age and his 247 points this year gives him a 3 year college
carrier of 1024 points!
Aside from being one of the Middle Atlantic Con-
ference's leading scorers, Mitch plays an excellent de-
fense and is the Aggies second leading rebounder.
A presentation was made for Ken prior to Del
Val's final season game against Lycoming on February 14,
where a spirited crowd awarded him with a well deserved
standing ovation.
Team mates and friends offer only fine words for
Ken. A very proud coach Lombard! says that Ken is one
of the quietest scorers he has knoyn and holds high hopes
for the return of Mitch with another' fine season.
Coach Lombardi's high hopes are held by all of Del
Val's basketball fans. Once more from everyone. CON-
GRATULATIONS Ken Mitchell.

EARTHQUAKE LEVELS CAMPUSIII!
WEBER REVEALS
FRESHMAN SCANDAL
One hundred fourteen freshmen have t>een indicated in
what is being called the largest cheating scandal since the
West Point incident of several years ago. The students, who
were taking a Chem II exam in Ml 14, allegedly copied
answers written on each others shoes. Dr. Charles Weber, the
test supervisor, was forced to leave the room for an emergency
phone call from Nat's Pizza, placing the students on the
"Honor system." According to a freshmen class representa-
tive the system worked well. Only one stwJent told on his
classmates.
OLYMPICS COME TO
DELVAL
by Anne Hassddt
Perhaps unknown to many students on campus the
Olympic games have come to DVC. There are two men on
campus, one training and one trainer for the Olympics. The
COLLEGIAN visited these two unique men for their story.
Many students know John Knarr, Head Trainer of
Athletics, here on campus. John is also to be a trainer for the
Olympics.
I asked John how he became interested in Athletic Train-
ing. He replied he became interested when he was a freshman
in college at the University of Delaware. He worked closely
with (he trainer at U. of D. and liked it so well he made a
career of it The University of Delaware had particular
courses and a program for training, John took these in addition
to his regular course of study. John worked with the various
varsity sports on campus, especially Football. In addition to
such courses as Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, etc.
practical experience is needed to become a Certified Trainer.
It takes 4 years and a degree such as Biology or related field
and actual working hours. A person is then able to qualify to
take an exam, similar to the Physical Therapy Boards, in
order to become a certified trainer.
How were you introduced to the Olympics? John replied
that he simply read an article in one of his Athletic Journals
and wrote for information and an application. The response
allowed him to get into Olympic training. When asked what
his duties would be, John replied that he was not sure. He did
not have ail the specific duties or information at the time of the
interview. He felt that the duties would be similar to what they
are here at Del Val. John said he would be an assistant trainer
not the head trainer. It would include basically the care and
rehabilitation c^ the Olympic candidates.
As far as John knows he will only be working at the
summer trails in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but there are
possibilities of going to the Winter games in Lake Placid, New
York in 1 980 and a chance of the Summer games in Moscow,
Russia. When asked what sports would be at the sununer
trials; John was not sure of the events to be there, but felt that
Track & Fiekl events would be. John will be going to
Cobrado, May 15-21.
I asked John how a person (student) can become a
trainer. John encourages anycMte interested to do so. What is
needed is a degree — readily available here on campus —
Bicriogy and Chemistry are excellent choices, but Animal and
Dairy Husbandry degrees are also useful. Becoming a student
trainer and joining the Student Trainer club here on campus is
a great way to get the practical experience needed. A person
must accumulate 1800 hours under a Certified Trainer in
order to qualify to take the exam to become certified themself.
John is to be congratulated for his achievement and we
wish him continued success.
Jdlin Hamilton, a freshman migoring in Ornamental
Horticulture, is die other Olympic luipeful. Jdm is a speed
Skater and also a bicycle racer. When asked how he became
interested in speed skating, John replied he got into the sport
indirectly. Shelia Ycnmg, 1 976 Olympic gold medalist, told
John that speed skating would help him improve his bike
racing. John tried skating and quickly became hooked
How long have you been skating? John said he has been
skating for 2 years and bike racing for S years. I asked what all
was involved in skating such as equi|Mnent and time. The first
thing necessary is the want to skate, second conies the skates.
These are a particular, custom skate, usually made in Europe.
The next thing needed is a skatmg uniform. These are skin
tight, custom fit suits. All of which are very expensive
according to John. Time is a necessary factor for any sport —
skating included. In addition to the hours necessary for the
actual skating, hours must be put in for exercising. John said
3-6 hours minimum must be put into exercise which includes
lifting weights, isometrics, and specific skating exercises.
John does have a coach who is usually in Lake Placid,
New York or West AUis, Wisconsin — he helps John with his
form. John said his bike racing coach also helps. I asked John
what exactly is speed skating? John replied that it is skating on
ice at a fast rate (speed).There are 2 types of speed skating
wxording to John. In the United States speed skating is cm a
400 meter track, but in a pack. In other words 1 guys skate on
a track competing for the fastest time and first place. The other
type of speed skating is the Olympic style. This style involves
2 guys or girls on a 400 meter track and competing for the
fastest time.
Seeing that skating is expensive, I asked John if he was
sponsored or if he was financing this himself? John said he was
sponsored for his bike racing, by Paris Sports, but he was
financing the skating himself. John has several honors for his
efforts at skating. He came in 8th at the U.S. nationals —
pack skating. He was second and third in the 1 979 time trails
in Lake Placid, New York. These all help his chances of being
on th6 Olympic team. Only skaters with the best times make
the Olympic team. John, like other athletes, won't know if
they've made the Olympic team until about 2 weeks before the
games commence.
When asked what is most important when skating, John
said it's a skaters form. The body is in an unnatural position
and the skater must do specific exercises to accustom the body
to this position.
I asked John if he would go to the 1984 Olympic games,
John's reply "YES"! John also told me about his bike racing
which he hopes will take him into Olympic competition. We
wish John continued success with both the skating and racing.
I'm sure Del Val hopes to see both John Knarr and John
Hamilton at the Olympics proudly representing the United
States. Congratulations and Good Luck to you both.
GRIDDERS FEEL BITE
OF INFLATION
A formal protest has been filed with the administration
by football coach Al Wilson after his request for a $50,000
budget increase was denied. The Coach expressed deep
dismay in his interview with COLLEGIAN reporters. "We'll
just have to grit our teeth and bear it," he stated. "I guess there
won't be any team blazers for the guys this fall." Wilson also
reluctantly disclosed that the team's troop of coaches would
be forced to wear the same matching slacks next season.
LETTER:
Dear Editor,
We are students residing on the campus who are very
much concerned about the matter of Mr. Joseph Marron, who
has been parking his cars illegally in the fire lane between
Wolfs(^ and Goodman Dorms. Not only is this a nuissance
to walk around these cars at all hours of the day and night, but
it is also endangering the lives of the students who reside in
Wolfsohn, New Dorm and Goldman dormitories.
You would think that this institution had learned their
lesson two years ago, in the event of the Ulman Hall fire,
concerning fire regulations. Several students have already
taken action in contacting the Fire Marshall, Mr. S. Car-
withen of Bucks County, and the Chief of Police of Doyles-
town Township.
Mr. Marron has also been notified several times about
placement of his car, which should be parked in his reserved
parking area of Segal Hall.
This matter has been brought forward at Student Gov-
ernment meetings, and Mr. Tasker supposedly assured the
students of this institution that the matter would be corrected.
It is ignorant that Mr. Marron can park his cars illegally
in a space which is harmful to the lives of the students who live
in the previously mentioned Dorms. The students would
appreciate that this situation be rectified by the appropriate
measures.
Respectfully submitted.
Concerned Resident StudenU of DVC
STUDENT GOV'T DIC-
TATORSHIP WILL
PRESERVE FREEDOMS
In a totally unexpected political decisi<m, student gov-
ernment president Micheal Drowning has declared Delaware
Valley a revolutionary dictatorship. He cited "self-rule" as
his reas(Hi for the move. Downing claimed the student body
would ixofit from the change in Government "We can <mly
retain our ri^ts and freedoms as students if we leave tte
decisions to an experienced leader," he stated
SECURITY STRIKES
FOR INCREASED
BENEFITS
Delaware Valley College security guards went on strike
last night at 1 2:01 a.m. when their existii^ contracts expired.
The conflict centers around a proposed "Spoils CM War
Clause" which guards are demanding in their new conmuts.
The clause calls for Vi crf^all beverages confiscated (m raids to
be divided among the security staff. Presendy, no such
provision exists in writing. In justifying the demand, a
reimsenutive of Security Local 267 stated, "We work hard;
we want a written guarantee of cmr fair cut of the goods."
FLOWER SHOW MERIT
Delaware Valley College received an Award of Merit for
their exhibit titled " Urban Spring" at the Philadelphia Flower
and Garden show. The exhibit demonstrates how to utilize
limited and difficult space through a selection of plant
materials and constructed materials in a simulated model
urban row house backyard. The design concept is suitable for
any small property and shows ways to utilize containerized
materials within a small space for maximum efficiency in
landscape planning.
A student committee working with Dr. John Mertz,
Chairman of the Ornamental Horticulture department and
Richard Cowhig, Ornamental Horticulture instructor have
developed and planned the exhibit since May of last year.
PLACEMENT OFFICE
TAKES GRAFT
Last week it was discovered that Mr. McClelland, the
director of the placement and public relations, r^eived a $2.5
million payment for encouraging graduates to find employ-
ment with Philadelphia Public Works De(M. It has been
estimated that over the past five years, nearly 80% of all DVC
graduates have found their way to this employer. An official
college spokesperson revealed that McClelland would not be
prosecuted, as he has agreed to host the faculty, staff, and
administration to a five week paid vacation to Bermuda.
RED CROSS NEWS
Though April Fool's day is coming up, blood is nothing
to fool around about. Believe it or not, there is currently a
naticMial shortage of type O positive bkxxl, the most com-
monly occuring type. If everyone continues to think that since
it is so common, they do not have to ^ve, the situation caii
only worsen. Anyone interested in giving blood may contact
the National Red Cross at 348-8161 or Mr. Cornell in the
infirmary for more information. _, ,

GRADING SYSTEM
AND CUT LIMIT FACE
EXTINCTION
Acting upon the recommendations of a California re-
search group, DVC will abolish both tlw grading system and
the cut limit next semester. The move was based (mi a $4
millicm government study conducted at U.C.L.A. According
to prcgect leader Simon Frought, "both grades and cut limits
are detrimental to the students' growth and learning process
and will induce lasting jasycholc^cal damage which can
severely hinder the subject's ability to cope with modem post-
college society."
COMPUTER CORNER
In response to Ute "letter to the editor" March 9 in the
COLLEGIAN about commuters, I'd like to say once again,
commuters are put down because of a sterotype which had
been placed upcm us a time ago.
I'm not going to tell you why some commuters do not
attend social activities because it will just be regarded as more
excuses. If commuters really matter here, I'm sure you are
well aware of the problems we face.
I was under the impression that activities put on by the
student government were for the whole student body. If so,
then why are commuters ridiculed for poor attendance at
Segal Hall activities? Rarely did 1 see a resident student atone
of these activities. Also you say all activities are publicized.
Evening activities are, tnit day acativities were never publi-
cized until the last issue of the newspaper. A complaint about
publicity that I hear about is the last concert. There was
nothing in Segal Hall about where to get tickets. I found a
poster stating where and how much tickets cost by walking
through a dorm. This I saw at least one week before the
concert If something was in Segal Hall it was placed their a
few days before the concert. So this was not enough time to
make plans?
I would like to commend the person who Anally decided
to put some information on the Commuter Comer in the
Agriculture Building. 1 just hope you keep it up.
In conclusion, 1 feel that nujre could be dcme in ways of
publicity ( I ) posters should be placed around school at least
three weeks before an activity (2) All activities should be
publicized. Also there should be a way to inform people off
campus that an activity has been cancelled. One problem that
is getting out of control is this constant battie of commuter vs.
residents. Is it not time we realize each has problems, and try
work around them, instead of blaming the other for them.
Unsuccessfully activities are just unsu(x:essful and not fail-
ures because d" commuters. The responsibility for trying to
resolve these diffierences are not just the commuter's but
everyone concerned.
Respectfully,
Jude Carforey

WINTER SPORTS FINAL
by Paul Stanziale
The Winter sports season at DVC has come to an end. A
last look of this years highlights presents a very optimistic
view for next years season.
A hard working 8 member womens basketball team,
coached by Peggy Vellner, endured a 3Vi month season
displaying by tiie end of their season, the desire and deter-
mination that is the first essential component of winning.
Joyce Newswanger offered a bright spot scoring 173 points
this season, thus her total 321 carrier points makes her OVC's
second all time leading scorer. Another standout player,
Brenda Wolfe, who aside from this years 177 points was the
teams leading rebounder with 68.
Although they only won 2 games, the foundation of this
.team only allows one direction, and that is up.
The most marked improvement was in the mens basket-
ball. Rookie Coach, Les Lombardi led the Aggies from a 6 -
15 record to this years 11-14. The Aggies were also the
number one scoring team in the Middle Atlantic Conference.
Action packed basketball was provided all season. Some
highlights that adhere to the memory oi many wouk) include
Ken Mitchells 1 000th carrier point. Bill Walter's rebounds
that made him one of the top in the MAC, Jim McShea and
Tom Kehoe in the game against Scranton. the last sh<M against
Kings, and of course Uie Bill Sunley "Dunk" against
Fairleigh Dickinson.
One giant congratulations is in order. Captain Jim
McShea completed his fourth and final year for the Aggies.
Jim was one of Del Val's steadest players. One can bet Coach
Lombardi and the Aggies will miss him next season.
The last team is a special one. They placed second this
year in the Middle Atlantic Conference. The finish was
dramatic with the tide coming down to an overtime match.
Yes, that awsome Del Val wrestling team coached by Robert
Marshall finished their 13-2 season placing second to
Lycoming. The final team scoring was Lycoming 1234.
Delaware Valley 1 20. The team is young and talented. Next
year could be the year to go all the way because as we all
know, number 2 tries harder.

NOTICE: The opinions cxpre»ed in any individual article do not necetsailiy represent the viewpoint of tfie paper or of the school.
FROM THE
EDITOR'S DESK:
by Rick Lewis
if one piclcs up any commercial newspaper from the
past wecic, adds that to the information gained from other
media such as television and radio, and compounds that
with the major topic of discussion recently, he will soon
discover that he has just aiXHit reached dte saturation
point reprding the nuclear incident at Three Mile Island.
Some refer to it as a tragedy; others, a disater. Some
people now feel that this is reason to cancel the develop-
ment of any new nuclear reactor power plants because of
a potential for occurrence of similar circumstances.
POPPYCOCK! Preferably, this should be looked upon as
an unfortunate, yet invaluable learning experience in
dealing with the handling of just such occurrences, which
must be anticipated If nuclear power is to continue to
develop into a major source of energy for our nation's
future.
Nuclear energy is basically both efficient and safe.
When compared to oil and coal, it is economically
superior. It was estimated in 1977 that, including capital,
fuel, operation, and maintenance, it cost 3.9^/lcwh to
produce electrical energy from oil, 2.0^/kwh for energy
production from coal, and only I.S^/kwh for energy
production from nuclear type plants. Nuclear energy's
safety record speaks for itself. There have been few or no
deaths as a direct result of a nuclear power plant's opera-
tion. Many have been killed in coat and oil-fired power
plants, mainly because of a lack of safety precautions
demanded of a nuclear plant Is this something to look
into? (Only if we want to drive up the price of fossil fuel
energy costs.)
Many people are afraid of the "unseen killing power"
of the radioactive materials contained within a nuclear
power plant. The word "meltdown" has become a house-
hold word in a near record-^tting one day. According to
NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) spokesman Dr.
Harold Denton, a "meltdown" has never really been an
imminent possibility throuj^out this entire ordeal. Also,
he explained, a "meltdown" situation is not a sudden
occurrence, nor does it release anywhere near the amount
of radiation that does an atomic bomb (nuclear oppon-
ents' favorite scare tactic comparison). It is true that if a
"meltdown" were to occur with insufficient evacuation,
there would be many innocent people exposed to radia-
tion, but that is the advantage of this incident, in
allowing officials and en^neers to practice on what
appears to be a rather stable situation, so that if an
unforeseen future accident of greater magnitude should
occur, they would be better prepared to handle it. Also,
it Is a good opportunity for the NRC to reexamine their
safety standards set for nuclear power plants and possibly
upgrade them to reduce the chance of similar accidents
recurring. Whatever the findings, nuclear power must
continue to develop.
As a political note, It was wholly unjustified for
President Carter and his wife and traveling crew to make a
pers<mal Visit to Three Mile Island. Not only was he useless
reprding his nuclear expertise, iMJt also he took valuable
time away from the engineers working on the problem.
He could have just as easily made his speech from Wash-
ington rather than as a spectator.
SWIM TEAM CLUB
All students interested in forming a Swim Team Club
are urged to attend a meeting in the Fetdman Agriculture

THREE-PERSON
ART SHOW
Three local artists — T. CarbonI, Fli^rence G. Hafner
and Ann Hall, will be featured in a joint art exhibit which
will open to the public at Delaware Valley College's
Krauskopf Memorial Library Friday, April 6, 1979, from
7:(KI p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
T. Carboni is a member of the Arts Alliance of Bucks
County, Doylestown Art League and Bucks-Mont Art
League.
Florence Hafner, Warrington artist, exhibits widely in
the Bucks-Mont area. She received first place for water
colors at Montgomery Mall in 1977 and at Autumn Antics,
Willow Grove in 1978. In addition to water colors, Mrs.
Hafner works in oil, acrylic and pen and ink.
Ann . Hall finds Bucks County, where she has long
resided, to be the main sources of inspiration for her
wattrcolors and drawings. The subject of her work
reflects organic forms and patterns, as well as landscapes.
Ann is a member of the Bucks-Mont League, the Doyles-
town Art League, and the Bucks County Arts Alliance.
The current exhibit which runs through April 25,
1979 will feature a variety of art forms.
WAPO
BRINGS INSIGHT
ARMED FORCES - Elvis Costcllo and The Attractions
Elvis Costello and The Attractions continue to exhibit
a second album ARMED FORCES. Costello's swooning
monotone voice prevails throu^out both sides of the
album, rarely Interrupted by strictly Instrumental sections.
The instrumenution is very strong throughout, but it still
seems to remain in the background of Costello's vocals.
The album consists of twelve short, fast-paced cuts. It's a
good album if you really sit back and absorb the whole
package without occupying your mind with anything else.
Elvis Costello is still one of the best new songwriters.
The strange ideas and lyrics expressed in much of his
material is a change of pace from most of the ordinary
rock mu^c now played - this is what makes Costello so
unique. The music itself is very disoriented, often sound-
ing like each member of the band is just playing what he
feels like playing, but this, again is part of their style. If
you buy their new album soon, you will receive a live
single of Elvis and the band recorded from a concert at
Hollywood Hi^. It includes the hits "Alison" and a p-eat
version of "Watching the Detectives" from their first
album and their new hit "Accidents Will Happen" from
their new album ARMED FORCES. This live version of
Elvis and The Attractions is worth the price of the album.

CAMPUS
BEAUTIFICATION
Anyone passing by the Hort Woods behind Ag
Building on Saturday, March 31st, would have seen a few
people ag^essively atucking the leaves, undergrowth,
and debris. These were not paid workers, but the nucleus
of the Campus Beautification Committee. We are students
who are tired of having the campus looking so run-down.
A lot of people express the desire to see the campus look
better. Finally, some of us are starting to do something
about it.
The Committee is headed by Glenn Sharko and
Rosalyn VanArsdalen, members of the OH Qub and
Student Government. Mr. Happ, Mr. Benner and Dr.
Mertz are the faculty members working along with the
Committee. However, it doesi't stop there. We are looking
for you, the students, to get involved and do something
about your campus. We live here eight months a year. It's
our home - so why not treat it as such.
LETTERS:
Students of Delaware Valley College,
We recently received a letter from the Cancer Society
concerning the donation sent them in memory of our
daughter. Sue.
Your kind and generous expres^on of sympathy w^
greatly appreciated. We know you all did a marvelous job
at the Volley Ball Marathon last November and we wish
to thank you very much.
The very best in life to all of you.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Harvey
Editor's note:
This letter was received by the Collegian from the
parents of Susan Harvey, Class of 1979. Susan was a
chemistry major and passed away earlier this year.
Am SPECIAL
by "Fredster" • Music Director, WAPO
If you like good old-fashioned rock and roll, you will
love tiie latest album from a little-known band called
Brownsville. They play rock and roll like it was meant to
be played - very loud and very fast. Unlike many of the
newer rock groups with their finely polished, synthesized
sound, Brownsville plays it straight forward and hard.
Brownsville continues to carry on the neverending fine
tradition of rock and roll. Warning: Not recommended for
disco- types.
Other albums which came out in 1 978 and continue to
imoress me are The Cars fantastic debut album. It sounds
new every time you listen to it. Heart's Dog and Butterfly
continues to raise the prestige of that great female*
dominated band. Minstral Wind is one of the best cuts
from the album. Heart is without a doubt the best rock
band in a long time, right behind Pink Floyd and the
immortal Led Zeppelin on my Wsi. And Then There Were
Three from Genesis is a really fine album from that three-
man band. Aerosmith's Bootleg is strictly recommended
for true Aerosmith fans. It contains excellent live versions
of many of their tunes, most notably Dream On and Lord
of the Thighs. Ambrosia's latest Life Beyond LA, is
excellent as is the intense new album from Journey
called Infinity. Briefcase Full of Blues from the Blues
Brothers, somewhat of a novelty item, continues to sell,
the music isn't that bad. The Stone's Some Girls, Double
Vision from Foreigner, and Pieces of Eight from Styx are
all better than average albums. The Greatful Dead's new
one. Shakedown Street, is also of good quality. The best
new single from an album is Take Me to the River by The
Talking Heads from their latest album titled More Songs
about Buildings and Food.
New releases from Led Zeppelin, The Eagles and a
two-record set from Fleetwood Mac are expected to be
released in the near future.

RESIDENCE LIFE
The Delaware Valley College Residence Life Staff
would like to bring to the students' attention the pro-
grams that are put on by the Residence Life Staff. Each
Resident Assisunt is required to put on two programs per
semester. Each program must be approved by the Execu-
tive Committee. Once approved, the programs will appear
on a calendar outside the Residence Life Office.
I would like to urge the students to attend the
programs put on by their RA. Not all the programs
are open to the entire student body because of the
limited funds that we are working with. Those that are
open to the student body range from Movies to Sports.
Here are some of the programs going on this semester:
Karate for Women
YMA
Backgammon Tournament
Movies
Clean-Ups
Banquets
If anyone has any suggestions or complaints as to the
programs now in effect, contact: Patty Briar, Chairperson
RA EC, Cooke 106.

SPRING FEVER HIKE
That feeling of spring in the air is enough to make
any able-bodied person yearn to get outside and absorb
the sensations of this time of year. To appease this
primeval urge, Pennypack Watershed Association has
scheduled a Spring Fever Hike for Saturday, April 7, from
2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Led by the Association's
naturalist, this pr(^ram will focus on the signs of spring
so rapidly appearing on the natural landscape. Wild-
flowers, returning wildlife, early tree blossoms, spring
songs and animal signs are some of the things to be
covered on this hike. Come on out to stretch your
legs and fill your lungs with fresh, spring air.
The Association requests a donation of 50^ for adults
and 25^ for children. For more information about
programs at the Environmental Management Center,

AIBS RECOGNITION
Two Delaware Valley College seniors received Certifi-
cates of Outsunding Achievement in Biology at the
Northeastern Regional Conference of the American Insti-
tute of Biological Sciences held in Albany, New York.
The certificates were presented by the National A.I.B.S.
for research papers that the students presented.
The students are:
lessie Daubert, a senior Agronomy major. She studied
the "Effectiveness of Tree Wound Paint on Bacterial
Infections of Plants". Miss Daubert's research included
the effects of tree wound paint on bacteria in laboratory
situations as well as on various types of plant material
grown under greenhouse conditions. Her advisors for this
research included Dr. Barbara Muse and Dr. lames Miller.
She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Bruce of Star
Route #2, Doylestown, Pa.
Bruce Micales is a senior Biology major. He studied
the "Effects of Various Secondary Amines on Bacterio-
static Properties of an Aniline-Derived Dye". Mr. Micales
synthesized new compounds and tested them to see if
they would kill harmful bacteria. Faculty advisors for this
research project included Dr. Richard Lazarus and Dr.
James Miller. Bruce is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harbble
Micales of 114 Timothy Place, Somerville, N.).
GRADUATION MEETING
There will be a meeting of all graduating seniors on
Tuesday, April 24, 1979, at 3:00 p.m. in the James Work
Gymnasium. Attendance is mandatory.
During this meeting graduation packets will be dis-
tributed and graduation procedures will be discussed.
The Director of Alumni Affairs will make a brief pre-
sentation, and time will also be allotted to take care of
last minute details for the senior trips.
Again, all graduating seniors are expected to attend
this meeting.
A-DAY FLOWER SHOW
"A-Day" is approaching quickly, and with it comes
showing of sheep, swine, and of course flowers. The
annual "A-Day" flower show has many categories still
available for entry. Come out and show what "flowers
say to you".
Entry fornns are available from:
Maryetta Bartlctt - Barness 201
or
Barbara Blaich - Barness 215
WAPO BASEBALL FORECAST
Well, Spring is upon us, and that means it's time for
Softball. The team to watch this year is the WAPO spon-
sored team, Dazed and Confused. General Manager Steve
Saphos should be credited with putting such exceptional
talent together in such a short time. Dave Geyer, team
manager, who recently conducted the team's fitness
workout in Florida was quoted as saying, "In alt my years
of coaching, i have never seen such a group of people in
better condition."
As for scouting the team, Fredster, the golden glove
shortstop is the heart of the team's defense. Double T,
Dave Hanisco, Mr. "Bill", Steve Parrish, Erotic |oe, Crazy
Eddie and Electric Lady all combine together to give
WAPO's Dazed and Confused team a hard-hitting power
lineup. On the pitching staff is hustler "OWLDO", a two-
time-twenty game loser, giving the team confidence in his
determined effort for a better year. In case "OWLDO"
fails in the bullpen, Dazed and Confused has M.j. Moore
and Barb as relief pitchers, giving the team more than
sufficient backup.
All in all, WAPO's Dazed and Confused team seems to
be a definite contender.
NOTE: All Dazed and Confused games can be heard
on a delayed broadcast on WAPO 640 AM.
Dazed and Confused
SUPERSTAR COMPETITION
The third annual "Superstar Competition" will be held
on April 21 and 22. The events for this year include Cross
Country Relay, Sack Race, two Raft Races, Running
Broad Jump, Obstacle Course, Foul Shooting Contest, and
Frisbee Throw.
There are 30 teams competing this year for a first
prize of $10 per person on the team.
Surting time is 1:30 Saturday and 1:00 Sunday, so
come out and watch your friends compete in these j^uel-
ing, hilarious events.

To the Editor:
Your recent editorial lauding nuclear power as a
necessary and safe contribution to our nation's energy
needs (despite the Three Mile Island disaster) reads,
unfortunately, like so much sooth-saying propagated by
the nuclear energy industry. The nuclear energy debate
has been, and still is, long and inconclusive, largely
because even the "experts", including those employed by
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, do not agree on the
efficiency and safety of nuclear power. If, however, we
strip the arguments, pro and con, of all of their emotional
trappings, there remain, in my view, three basic unresolved
issues:
1. It is true that nuclear power plants are designed with
multi-level safety systems. (It is a pointed commentary
on the state of the nuclear art that there are, in fact,
substantial changes in the design of every nuclear
power plant incorporated during its construction be-
cause no "final" solution to all of the safety problems
has yet been devised.) Three Mile Island has, however,
made it abundantly clear that all of that sophisticated
equipment cannot necessarily be relied upon to work
the way it is supposed to work as operated by the
plant personnel. What is even more astounding is the
magnitude of safety problems of which we may yet be
totally unaware. Nobody had anticipated a hydrogen
accumulation in the reactor core. We came very close
to a hydrogen gas explosion accompanied by a lethal
shower of the reactor's core contents at Middletown.
2. We have no wholly satisfactory solution to the prob-
lem of disposing of nuclear wastes. Some of the fission
products derived from reactors remain radioactive for
periods of time well exceeding the lifespan of any
civilization this planet has ever supported. Hence, even
if we can engineer a way to contain these materials as
long as we can monitor them, we cannot guarantee
their safety if we, as a civilization, should no longer be
available to maintain their containment. On top of
that, we cannot engineer containment of them that
can be absolutely guaranteed to protect them from
natural forces that could, in the future, expose them.
3. When all is said and done, the proven world reserves of
uranium, upon which the current nuclear generators
are wholly dependent, have a projected availability
that will endure no longer than the world's proven
reserves of oil. In other words, at best, nuclear fission
will last us only about as long as oil will, into the early
decades of the next century. Why put so much time,
effort, and capital into a temporary solution to a
long-term problem? It is high time that we turn our
technology toward developing those potential energy
resources - solar, geothermal, and wind power among
them - that have demonstrably greater staying power.
The "Energy Crisis", with all of its ramifications,
presents our civilization with the largest and most com-
plex challenge it has ever faced. It shall be an interesting
example of living history to see how we handle it. It will
be a test of our mettle. And that mettle will only prove
to have durability if we can rise above the here-and-now
and develop solutions that will carry us beyond the near
horizon of the Twenty-first Century.
Sincerely,
John C. Mertz
To the Editor:
I recently picked up a copy of the Collegian, April 6,
1979. I found my emotions aroused when reading "From
the Editor's Desk", an article concerning nuclear energy.
This article will consider some ideas presented in the
aforementioned article.
First, the statement that "nuclear energy is both effi-
cient and safe." Today, nuclear power is more efficient
than our popular fossil fuels, but is it safer? Basically,
fossil fuels pollute by adding particles to the atmosphere
and nuclear power pollutes by increasing temperatures of
the surrounding cnvironmeni. This is under normal oper-
ating conditions. In event of a disaster to a system, fossil
fuels would burn or explode and spill liquid fuel and com-
busted particles into the surrounding environment. On the
other side of the coin, even a minor disaster of a nuclear
system can result in the emission of radioactive particles.
Interesting; radioactive particles, what are the long-term
effects of radiation exposure? Agreed, there may be no
short-term effects unless a massive dosage of radiation is
encountered (a meltdown, possibly). But the long-term
effects of prolonged exposure to even low levels of
radiation? Who knows. The government will not say that
there are no long-term effects. Almost everyone does
agree that a disaster of greater magnitude would certainly
be harmful to human life. The evacuation plans may be
seen as an acceptance to this fact. Again, is nuclear power
safe?
One would agree with the statement that the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission should reexamine safety stand-
ards; but agree with the statement ". . . nuclear power
must continue to develop"?
Nuclear power is only a temporary solution to the
energy problem. Man must reevaluate where he is heading
in the future. Sure, nuclear power is more efficient than
conventional fossil fuels and, depending on future findings
(and who is arguing the point) nuclear power may even be
safer. But fossil fuels and the fuels needed to run a reactor
are all resources which must re removed from the earth
and used. They are limited resources! What are the future
energy goals? Are scientists going to find a clean, safe,
and efficient energy source which is unlimited in nature?
Nuclear power does not meet this goal; therefore, contin-
ued development of fission reactors should be bypassed
in favor of development of alternate energy forms. Solar
energy, wind energy and energy from tide changes should
be developed. These forms of energy are already clean,
safe, and from an unlimited source. Efficiency is all that
remains. The choice is yours.
Mitchell Smith
To the Editor:
One of the most laughable ideas recently proposed is
the "21" Residence Halls. At present, according to page
41 of the Student Handbook "a person is guilty of a
summary offense if he, being less than 21 years of age,
attempts to purchase, purchases, consumes, possesses or
transports any alcohol, liquor or malt or brewed bever-
ages" and goes on "In accordance with the above, posses-
sion or consumption of alcoholic or malt beverages on the
property of the College, will result in disciplinary action.
The same rule will apply to every student regardless of
age." However, the above-mentioned regulation is not
obeyed by the student body and certainly /lot enforced
by Security.
Does the Administration believe that by setting up
"21" Residence Halls, with a modified alcohol policy,
that consumption of alcohol by students will be restricted
by these "legal" halls? If they do, they are sorely mis-
taken and should take a walk and close look through any
residence hall on a Saturday night. They would see several
loud and drunken parties going on. Also, that those who
object to these goings-on have left for somewhere else, or
are afraid to call Security because of possible reprisals
by the partyers.
There is no easy solution to the problem of consump-
tion of alcohol on campus. However, most to be pitied are
the janitorial staff who have to cleap up the broken
bottles, spilled beer, and mess in the bathrooms after one
of these parties, since the participants do not have enough
common courtesy to clean up the mess they made.

POWER TO SHARE
by jIm Magnus
Death and dying is often an interesting subject among
people who like to theorize and even fantasize, it is not
until we have an experience with death, be it a close
friend or a relative or a close brush with it ourselves, that
our age-old fears come back to us, penetrating our surface
ideologies. Herman Feifel says in his book New Meanings
of death, ". . . the threat of death, which does nothing
but diminish and annihilate, is especially for a college
student, a dramatically devastating trauma. It is the
essence of the wrong event at the wrong time ... We
mourn the death of a young gifted person, a beautiful
person, more than the death of an old person, a wicked
person, or even an ordinary person. We mourn the death
of a college student -. . . bright promise unfulfilled ■
more than any other." This is because we really don't
understand death.
Many of us refuse to accept death as a rational
possibility for our near future. Car accidents, fires, and
illnesses should be enough to open our eyes. But then
what? You say that since death is included with the
inevitable there is nothing we can do about it? This may
be. We can't do anything to prevent our bodies from
undergoing physical death. We can prolong life but we
can't prevent death altogether. So the question arises —
how will I face death when it comes knocking on my
door? Can I prepare myself for it? The best you can do
to begin preparing yourself for this very important stage
in your future is to study the different theories about it.
See which theories have held up through the centuries. I
am also open for any private discussions on the matter.
I happen to have a very close friend who died for me. I
have listed some reading materials that may be of interest
to you.

TRAVEL TIPS
by Michael Diamond
An incredible place to visit in the warm weeks ahead is
a tiny island about eight miles off the coast of Cape Cod
called Martha's Vineyard. The island is about 22 miles
long and attracts the type of people who enjoy being
surrounded by clear blue ocean, a rolling topography and
breathtaking cliffs. The best way to get to the island is to
take route 95 to Providence, R.I., where you go east on
180 until you arrive in Woodshole, Mass. In Woodshole
you take a 4S-minute ferry ride to the island.
Once on the island you can get around by bringing
your car over on the ferry or by renting a bike, a moped,
or a car. You should go to Oaks Bluff which is a small
town once inhabited by pirates and now inhabited by
people akin to the bar scene. You should then go to
Edgartown which is the next town up island. Edgartown
is an extremely classy town with quite a collection of
yachts, fine restaurants, and bars. Your next place of
interest to see should be Chilnrlark with its famous art
museum and antique movie theatre. Your next stop
should be Manemshe which is the classic fishing village
you know so well from paintings. The ultimate place to
visit is the furthest top of the island called GayHead. It is
an old Indian village overlooking the sea and surr6unded
by huge cliffs. Once in GayHead you should find Zachs
Beach which is a beautiful nudist's paradise.
Incidentally, about % mile from Edgartown is the
famous Chappaquidick Island where Ted Kennedy drove
off the bridge with his lady friend. You can take a ferry
from Edgartown to see the bridge. As far as accommoda-
tions go, there are a couple of hotels but mostly guest
houses where you can stay at prices ranging from $6.00
per night to $50.00 per night. There is also a youth hostel
costing $3.50 per night. For those of you who are
interested, Martha's Vineyard is where the movie Jaws
was filmed. Another good point about the island is that
females far outnumber males by a ratio of 3:1.
If solitude on a beautiful island surrounded by luscious
beaches is what you want, I suggest you visit the island
before June. After June there will be an abundance of
tourists. I almost forgot to mention that you can camp
out on the island in a place called Cranberry Aures.
I'm going to visit the Vineyard next week and maybe
I'll see some of you there.
DORM LIFE
An unsuspecting student had just sat down at his
desk on Thursday, April 5th. An afternoon of both
relaxation and study was his objective on this crisp spring
day. This was to be followed by housing registration in
the early evening.
Suddenly, by chance, he received a message from a
friend. Contrary to the time given in the current issue of
This Week On Campus, registration was apparently begin-
ning some six hours prior to schedule! Of course, the
student, gripped with fear over being stuck in the same
dorm for another year, dropped all work and made tracks
for Mandell.
Upon arriving, he found an encampment of several
dozen classmates already in the acts of sleeping, playing
cards, cursing, and wondering what in God's name was
going on. The student signed his name to a so-called
"order list", which, rumor had it, designated the order
in which candidates for housing would be called forth to
select their rooms. Rumor also had it that spot checks
would be held all afternoon to make certain that no one
committed the atrocity of going to class after signing his
name. So the lengthy vigil began.
With all hopes of catching up on study swept away,
the day dragged on. Rumors concerning changes in
procedure brought on worried looks, helped initiate
ulcers, and helped shorten tempers as the hands of the
clock slowly wandered on. The amount of concrete
information provided to waiting students throughout the
afternoon would have made the Soviet news agency
proud.
Finally, housing registration began, at which time the
cranky students stampeded in a calm, orderly manner
toward the waiting line. The list which had received
signatures all afternoon mysteriously vanished as the
patient (i.e.*, those who had stood directly before the
doors for an eternity) and the fittest (i.e., 6'4", 200 lbs.)
entered the lecture hall first. After discovering that the
room he had waited nearly seven hours for had been
taken, the student settled for one of the remaining spots
on campus. It just happened to be next to the phone,
next door to a guy with four-foot Advents hooked to his
receiver, and across the hall from the world's longest
running party. The student emerged from Mandell much
disgusted at having spent the afternoon twiddling his
thumbs and reading the key to last month's Chem II exam
seventeen times. There must be some way to run this
procedure more quickly, he thought to himself. Perhaps a
demolition derby, or a foot race from Route 202 to
Mandell. At any rate, one could always hope for tjetter
luck next year.

COMMUTER CORNER
A dollar a' gallon! Rationing! Fuel shoruges! How
true is all this talk about the energy crisis? It is the
opinion of the Commuter Co/ner that shortages are a real
possibility, even though they don't exist right now. The
U.S. is tMjrning the majority of the world's oil, and a lot
will be used needlessly. After you see a picture of a super-
highway in Los Angeles or New York, you can easily see
why the rest of the world is angry. Millions of cars drive
needlessly every day, people live in overheated houses and
use luxury items that they can live without. Every day
that this goes on, we use billions of gallons of fuel that
can never be replaced. If we continue at this rate, the
shortage will be real.
Before this happens we should, and must, put into
effect the ideas that have been proposed to conserve
energy. This involves using car pools, and public trans-
portation, such as busses and trains. If we can save a
million gallons a day, that's a million gallons that can be
put toward more efficient use. We can ship food to the
needy at less cost, or develop cheaper public housing and
public transportation.
The worst that could happen In a real energy crisis is
rationing. It's a very unpopular idea but it is a real
possibility. We can avoid this by using less oil. Walk or
bike to a place if it's close enough, and consolidate trips
into once or twice a week. This will save oil as well as
simplify things for all involved. By putting less cars on the
road there will be less traffic and faster trips from one
place to another.
Dollar a gallon gas? The commuter's plague! This
country is so used to fifty-cent gas that the dollar sounds
horrible. Let's not forget that in European countries the
price is upwards of two dollars a gallon. We are still lucky.
This country has the lowest average price of gas. If we
look at an unpopular side of the coin, the Arabs, for
years, were living in poverty and getting pennies a barrel
(55 gallons) for oil. Now, finally, they are enjoying
luxury. Don't we feel the same? In other words, when we
find a profitable trade, don't we try to get more and more
profit from it?
The one idea to keep in mind is, "Let's save gas
BEFORE it's depleted." In this way, by giving up a few
luxuries, we can save enough energy to keep ourselves in
low-cost fuel for many more years.

TRACK SWEEPS
FIRST TWO
The first track meet to be held at the James Work
Memorial Stadium provided a real test for the new metric
all-weather track, in a pouring hard rain Delaware Valley
College defeated Widener 78-54 on Wednesday (April 14).
Jim Murphy (Hillcrest Heights, MD) a junior, was the
only double winner, taking the 800 meters and the 1500
meters.
On Saturday (April 7), the D.V.C. track team travelled
to Swarthmore College and defeated them 78-67 iii a dual
meet. The best performance of the day was turned in by
junior Steve Lilly (Indialantic, FL) who won the 100-
yard dash, the 220-yard dash, the broad jump, and was
part of the winning 440-yard relay team.
The next meet is on Thursday (April 12) at Lebanon
Valley College and the Messiah College Invitational on
Saturday.
ANOTHER HONOR
FOR KEN MITCHELL
Junior Ken Mitchell of the Delaware Valley College
basketball team was named to the E.C.A.C. Southern
Regional Division III Basketball team. The team was
selecteci by votes from the coaches and came in an an-
nouncement from Robert M. Whitelaw, Commissioner of
E.C.A.C. Previously "Mitch", the 6'3" forward from
Philadelphia, was selected to the second team for the
M.A.C.

A-DAY 1984
by Tom Umrath
Another A-Day, I thought, as I returned to DVC for
the celebrated annual spring ritual As I pulled into the
south entrance, I could not get over how much the place
had changed. Before I had a chance to absorb the scene in
front of me, I was engulfed by the usual enormous crowd.
Essentially, they were the same type of people who had
been present at all former A-Days, except for the in-
creased number of smiling realtors in the group. But they
could only be expected. Some of the people in this crowd
still owned real farms, and they were prime targets for the
subdividers. I marched to the lawn beside the gym and
began to marvel at some of the imaginative displays con-
structed by the students.
Good old A.I.B.S. was running a government-licensed
clone booth this year, at which one could deposit his cat
or dog and pick up a rapidly duplicating cell one hour
later. This service also included a 485-page volume titled
Qunc Jokes of the Seventies to amuse the customer.
There I saw the school's newest major, pre-aquaculture,
in the process of displaying their newly acquired under-
water harvesters in Lake Sitarski. Their efforts were foiled,
however, when a case of empty Michelobs was sucked
into the machine.
Near Route 202, the Climate Control Qub was in the
process of inflicting a violent hailstorm on the security
office, much to the Joy of all students present. Some
things never change, 1 thought. The Agriculture Depart-
ment also had a most intercstmg display - the remote-
controlled farmer. A marvel of modern technology, they
called it. This machine could plow, seed, and harvest
almost any crop on any terrain while the human farmer
sat back and worried about his taxes. As an option, one
could even purchase a denim-style paint job for the rustic
look.
After viewing all of the exhibits, I took a place on a
mini-bus and settled back for a campus tour. The first
stop was an ancient stone and wood barn near the
Doylestown monorail track. Cameras clicked like a
regiment of soldiers fixmg their bayonets as this relic of
the past was gazed at in awe. We then passed under the
track and onto a wide blacktop where fields once grew.
Before us loomed a shining silver dome surrounded by a
cluster of humming trucks. This was Farm 5, which had
replaced DVC's archaeic crop fields and animal barns
three years earlier. Its revolutionary hybrids allowed the
college to produce more than ten times the food put out
in earlier years, consequently reducing the cost of a year's
tuition to $17,500.
The best of the tour was yet to come, when we were
allowed to photograph an acre of trees which had been
maintained by the college as the John Standing Memorial
Forest. The lour would have been perfect had it not been
for the constant reminiscing of two alumni in the front
of the bus. Their talk of tractors, cutting hay, fishing, and
manual labor was clearly nauseating to the other people
in the bus. Sentimental fools after all, the future is
progress, isn't it?

TRACK WINS
TRIANGULAR
In a meet that was even closer than the score indicated,
the Delaware Valley College Track Team defeated MAC
opponents Albright and Susquehanna last Thursday at
D.V.C The final scores were Delaware Valley College
71.5, Albright College 59.0 and Susquehanna University
50.5. Double winners for Delaware Valley College in-
cluded Steve Lilly in the 100- and 200-meter sprints and
Mark Tankersley the 110 high hurdles and 400 inter-
mediate hurdles. Marl's 56.2 in the intermediate hurdles
was a new school record.
Other first place winners for D.V.C. were James
Murphy in the 1500 meters, Mike Danis in the high jump,
and Warren Robertson in the javelin. The high jump and
javelin points iced the victory for Delaware Valley
College and raised their record to 4-1. The final regular
season track meet of the season will be Wednesday
(April 25) against Haverford and Ursinus at Ursinus
College. The MAC Track Meet is scheduled for Friday and
Saturday, May 5 and 6.
BASEBALL DROPS
TWO DOUBLEHEADERS
The Delaware Valley College Baseball team hit a poor
offensive week and as a result lost two doublehcaders.
Last Wednesday the "Aggies" traveled to Upsala and
dropped two games, 8-0 and 5-0. The drought of Aggie
hits continued on Saturday when Wilkes defeated D.V.C.
4-0, 2-1 at Wilkes. According to Coach Frank Wolfgang,
the "Aggie" offense is averaging three hits a game and the
other teams just aren't making any mistakes.
The Baseball team will have plenty of opportunities
to get back on their winning track with a home game with
Muhlenberg on Wednesday, a doubleheader at Scranton
on Thursday and a doubleheader at Elizabethtown on
Friday. The overall record for the "Aggies" going into this
week is 11-9.

CLONING AROUND
by Steve Silberstein
A clone is a group of cultivated plants which have been
propagated vegetatively from a single original individual
and are genetically uniform.
Although the word "cloning" brings to mind visions of
mad scientists, test tubes, and flashes of bubbling chem-
icals, it is actually far more down-to-earth. When you
root a cutting, you're making a clone.
However, a newer method of cloning does involve test
tubes and chemicals (but no mad scientist). It is known as
tissue culture, which is the asexual propagation (regenera-
tion) of plants from small pieces of plant tissue, such as
pieces of leaf particles, stems, and apical meristems. Two
requirements for successful tissue culture are aseptic
conditions and a culture medium containing chemicals
necessary for growth of the species.
Tissue culture is done on a commercial basis with
orchids and certain other house plants. Theoretically, any
plant can be tisaie cultured, but more work is needed to
determine the correct media.
The advantages of tissue culture include:
1. Production of a large number of plants from a
small amount of plant tissue.
2. Production of disease-free and unblemished
plants.
3. Production of genetically uniform plants.
4. Faster propagation of rare, slow, or difficult to
propagate species.
Take a good look at your favorite house plant; it's
probably a clone.
Who is this nun? Come over to "The Other Side" and
find out. RNG, Saturday April 28. 1979, 9 p.m. 1 a.m.

CONGRATULATIONS!
The Collegian wishes to congratulate Dr. Lazarus, Jim
Maloney, and the entire A-Day Committee for a job well
done. Although Saturday was rather blustery, Sunday
turned out to be an excellent day which drew near-record
crowds to the freshly decorated campus. A-Day this year
was a memorable experience for all who attended.
HNANCIAL AID

LETTER:
Dear Editor,
In regard to the March 9 letter of Kyle Kemp, the
Chairman of the House of Social Activities, I have a few
important comments.
Just one time I'd appreciate it if someone on this
campus would get serious and attempt to malce an intelli-
gent statement I, as a so-called "ignorer" (whatever that
means) have just finished reading a copy of the March 9
Collegian. (I guess in this case we could call it the
ignoree.) I, as a lowly, shameful, non-resident just can't
understand why there is such a disagreement about
whether or not commuters get the most out of student
activities.
If I may, I'd like to analyze this situation. I am a
junior commuting student. I travel fifty-five miles a day
and try my best to Ulce advantage of the social activities
which Del Val offers.
Let's see - one of the activities I had the pleasure of
taking part in was the musical entertainment in the mag-
nificent commuter complex, Segal Hall. As I sat in that
luxurious building eating my lunch, I experienced, live
and in person, the sounds of a Polish band playing some
of your and my favorite polkas. Seriously now, we
"ignorers" don't deserve such expensive entertainment.
This band, however, could not surpass the superb
evening entertainment, such as dances and discos. The
enthusiasm at these events is beyond belief. I have, on
occasion, been lucky enough to purchase a ticlcet to a
couple of these social extravaganzas. Tickets are just so
hard to come by. I'm shocked students haven't Uken to
scalping.
The last dance I attended had unbelievable lighting
(none) and the sound system was, how should I put it,
deafening!
Now, rtgarding my commuter calendar. I believe a
calendar of events is usually posted in Segal Hall. Yes, I
think one struck my eye the other day but, I might be
wrong, since it was so crowded over by the "signs adver-
tising upcoming events", not to mention the stacks and
stacks of accumulating student government minutes and
Collegians which were blocking my view.
It only took me a few seconds to read the calendar but
I, not being your regular, disgustingly ungrateful com-
muter, still took the time to walk over to my mailbox
(you know, we each do have one) knowing full well it
contained only a calendar. I figured, it's the least I could
do to show my gratitude and concern.
Finally, since I've read your moving, spiritually-
uplifting letter, Mr. Kemp, I've decided, once and for alt,
to abandon my former attitudes. I have become a con-
scientious commuter. In fact, every chance I get I take
advantage of an invigorating walk from Segal Hall to the
library and, when that bores me, I see how many times I
can walk from the parking lot to Mandell and back
without getting winded. Since I realize that improvements
to the parking situation are (and have been for as long as I
can remember) in the offing and that (to use your quote,
if I as a commuter, may) "until the long process of insti-
tuting such a change can be approved and initiated, the
situation will, unfortunately, have to remain the way it
it". But, until these situations do change, I will count my
blessings — the exercise will do me good. (How's that for
not letting a situation work to my detriment?)
In\fonclusion, I would like to say that I have dis-
cussed your letter with some of my fellow commuters. In
retrospect, we have all decided to make the first step
toward reforming our apathetic ways. We are all going to
spend an entire Friday night ON CAMPUS, counting
empty dormitory bunks. That will keep us busy for some
time, won't it?
Sincerely,
Lisa Rafaele
Reformed Commuter

COMMUTER CORNER
By the year 3000 there will be no fuel left to burn,
theoretically. So how will we get around? The easiest way
will be to walk. Our legs are our most functional transpor-
Ution. They are easily mainuined, quick, and in some
cases nice to look at
Bicycles are also to be looked into. Not only are they
a cheap source of locomotion and also easy to maintain,
but a great way to sUy in shape and get out to check out
nature.
A major source of transportation will have to be
horses. Horses are strong, loyal, and are easily trained.
They need no trail, no grease, no sharing, and no tires.
The thing a horse does require is food. This shmld be no
trouble, since no one's grass will be mowed and grazing
land will be plentiful.
As a final note we have to look at the re^onslbility of
mutations. Through radiation we could muute birds and
animals to grow many times their normal size, lust think
about how nice it would be to ride a crow On second
thought, a crow would probably eat its rider, so let's
think about a canary. Wc could be enteruined free of
charge, sweet soft music, just lay back and relax. Granted,
all ground dwelling people would have to be issued
umbrellas as a precaution against lovirf lying "bombers".
For running on the ground, we could grow giant
animals. Just think about how fast a chipmunk can run.
Now imagine that same chipmunk, only 10 feet ull.
Just think of the speed (of the chipmunk, of course);
imagine running the Baha 1000 on this guy - great family
entertainment.
The last resort is mutating ourselves to grow wings.
The Commuter Corner has bugs planted throughout CIA
headquarters, and we found that a new strain of flying
people is being researched. (Remember Three Mile
Island?) We strongly urge you to write your Congressman
telling him you strongly disagree with mutating people
with radiation, but you do support Bill 646, wing trans-
plant research.
Have a great vacation,
Mike Tarbotnik

DR. WEBER -
AN INTEREST IN TRAINS
by Anne Hassoldt
The Collegian visited Dr. Charles Weber, a known
activist in the train movement. I asked the standard
question - how he became interested in trains. His reply
was that he always had the interest in trains - even before
he was born. His father had purchased two train sets one
month before Dr. Weber was born, although his father had
no interest In them. Dr. Weber had those sets until he was
12 years of age, at which time he purchased more sets
with money he earned.
Dr. Weber's collection consists primarily of the Lionel
0-gauge trains. These are two times the size of the HO
type. At the time these were the most popular and with
what he started.
In the late 1950's and early 1960's, while he was in
college, Dr. Weber began building O-gauge scale models.
After college he lost interest in scale building and became
interested in just collecting toys - old toy trains. The toy
trains are only resemblenccs of real trains. Scale models
are actual models of real trains scaled down to %' to 1 '.
Scale models are miniatures of the real thing. Dr. Weber's
collection and interest is primarily in toys older than
World War II.
I asked if his interest included trolleys. Dr. Weber's
reply was, "Yes." He doesn't, however, have any trolleys.
Lionel made trolleys between 1900 and 1917 and
another model in 1 957. Dr. Weber said it is difficult to get
these. I asked if there was a national interest in train
collecting. Dr. Weber replied that there was. There are
three major collectors' organizations. The T.C.A. (Train
Collectors Association) has 12,000 members, of which
Dr. Weber is a member. Dr. Weber was president of the
local chapter for three years and is still a member of the
board. The T.C.A. museum is in Strasburg, Pa., where
Dr. Weber put together the train layout. There is also the
L.C.C. of A. (Lionel Collectors Club of America) of which
Dr. Weber is also a member. The T.T.O.S. (Toy Train
Operators Society) is an organization for toy train
collectors.
Since Dr. Weber has 6-8 sets which includes 650 cars
and 1 25-1 50 engines, I asked if there was money involved.
He replied that a great deal of money can be invested in
trains - for which some people do. He himself does not
have any rare expensive pieces, but does have a rather
large collection and is worth money. His are on display at
his home and in Strasburg, Pa., at the T.C.A. museum.
Dr. Weber is always interested in purchasing pre-World
War it and post-World War II trains.
Any students with any interest in trains are encouraged
to see Dr. Weber and to join the Railroad Club here on
campus.
TRAVEL TIPS
BASEBALL SWEEPS THREE
by Michael Diamond
Of all the cities In the world I've been to I have found
Amsterdam, Holland, the nicest. For a large city located
in central Europe it is unique for having an extremely
relaxing feeling. The city is essentially situated on water
resulting in numerous canals throughout the city. The
people of Holland are some of the most beautiful people
I've ever had the pleasure to encounter. It seems that due
to the rigidness enforced on the Dutch people by the
Nazis in World War II, the people have made a complete
360° turn in their culture. They've legalized pornography,
prostitution, and hashish smoking in cerUin government-
regulated clubs. The prostitutes are licensed and inspected
for V.D. by the Dutch government.
There is an extremely youthful air about Holland
which gives way to a unity among the Dutch people both
young and old. Language is no problem, because they all
speak English. Don't forget to check out the Heineken
Beer Brewery for all the free samples of Heineken you can
handle at 1 1 :00 a.m.
The food in Amsterdam is excellent, but expensive.
You can, however, eat in special student restaurants
relatively cheaply.'
Other points of interest are Amsterdam's incredible
museums, greenhouses on house boats, partying clubs
with co-ed saunas, and, of course, the people. You also
want to check out the tulips in the summer throughout
Holland's landscape which is truly a magnificent scene.
As far as accommodations go, you can stay in youth
hostels, inexpensive youth hotels, or camp out in Hol-
land's VondenI Park. Airfare to Amsterdam is anywhere
from $200 to $300 round trip from New York. Amster-
dam is the kind of city that is best described by just going
and seeing it for yourself.
CULTS
NEW YORK, April 18 - "Unethical" cults "have infil-
trated almost every campus in the country" to such an
extent that if "your child is in college or high school, the
chances are good that sometime this year, he or she will
be approached by a cult recruiter," today asserted a
survey article on cults in the current (MaV) issue of
Ladies' Home fournal.
In tht Journal article:
• Cult researcher Flo Conway asserted, "Almost all the
groups who are recruiting on campus don't identify them-
selves." She cited the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's
Unification Church which often enlists new "Moonies"
through CARP, its Collegiate Association for the Research
Principles organization. "They have centers on or near
just about every campus in every state of the union,"
claims Ms. Conway, who spent four years investigating
cults for a book. 'They present themselves as a campus
social club. People are drawn into the Moonie movement
and will be there three or four weeks before they even
realize that CARP is part of the Moon organization. By
that time, they have become so trapped by mind control
techniques that they really no longer have the free will to
break out"
• Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer, a noted authority on cults,
suted, "One of the largest and most established cults in
the U.S. today uses almost line-by-line 'thought reform'
techniques that were used by North Koreans on United
Nations prisoners during the Korean War. While cults
don't generally hold a gun to your head and threaten to
execute you, that is not necessary, because social and
psychological persuasion techniques are far more effec-
tive," the University of California psychiatry professor
said.
• Ms. Conway also revealed, "In our research, we came
across numerous reports of cults that were arming thenrv
selves. Two of the larger organizations we found have
been given instructions by their leaders that in case of
what they consider to be blasphemy by outsiders, they
should try to kill those people. And if they are unable to
do so, they should kill themselves."
In the article. Dr. Singer urged that cults be legally
mandated to fully describe their identity and the nature
of their activities before approaching schools or com-
munities.
The psychiatrist asserted in the Journal: "The whole
question of the First Amendment and what it does and
doesn't protect bears closer examination as the result of
cults. Many of our most prominent legal philosophers are
already beginning to take a look at the issues involved and
are considering what are the legal rights of families within
our society.
"If unethical cults are permitted to proliferate un-
checked," Dr. Singer sUted, "more families could be
threatened and we would have more people accepting
totalistic and totalitarian methods of group living without
being aware of exactly what they are involved in."
PERVASIVE POWER
by Ra/ph Nader
The next time you pick up a well-sharpened No. 2
pencil and begin to hurriedly answer a standardized,
multiple-choice test, chances are that your test is one of
more than eight million given annually by the Educational
Testing Service (ETS). You may know ETS manufactures
SATs, LSATs, GREs and GMATs. With these tests alone,
ETS influences the educational and career opportunities
of millions of people. But the power of ETS does not
begin or end with those tests. ETS markets 299 different
tests. ETS tests are used to determine entrance to over 60
occupations, including firefighters, actuaries, policemen,
real estate brokers, sailors, teachers, gynecologists, engi-
neers, and auto mechanics. ETS test results are the
standards of access to some of the most powerful profes-
sions: Foreign Service officers, New York stockbrokers,
lawyers in over 40 states, CIA agents. Two million elemen-
tary students uke ETS tests, and ETS is even developing
ways to test Infants. ETS helps determine who will be
eligible for financial aid and how much they will receive.
The financial information ETS obtains on nearly two
million families is more detailed than a mortgage applica-
tion or an IRS return. ETS consultants and trainees help
shape education and labor allocation policy in scores of
countries, including Singapore, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia.
And ETS has test centers in 120 countries.
In thirty years, probably 90 million people have had
their schooling, jobs, prospects for advancement, and
beliefs in their own potential directly shaped by the quiet
but pervasive power of ETS.
What is the Educational Testing Service? How has it
centralized so much power? Is it accountable to anyone,
or anything? Should your opportunities be so influenced
by ETS' standards of aptitude or intelligence?
Despite its massive influence, few people question
ETS. Students may want to tear up test forms in
moments of frustration, but few of us think of challenging
the corporation that makes the tests. We will soon release
a lengthy report on ETS, written by Allan Nairn, which
we hope will help people undersund, and question, the
unique and unregulated power of this corporation.
Indeed, ETS is, in non-dollar ways, a large corporation.
It has more customers per year than GM and Ford com-
bined. Despite its non-profit status, it declares roughly a
million dollars in "non-profits" each year. This money is
plowed back into corporate expansion and maintaining
the ETS estate, which includes a 400-acre headquarters in
Princeton, New jersey, a $250,000 home for the presi-
dent, William Turnbull, and a three million dollar hotel/
conference center - all built with student test fees. Its
revenue from test fe«> enabled ETS to double its size
every five years from 1948 to 1972, a rate of growth
faster than IBM.
ETS's sales and near-monopoly power, combined with
its privileged legal status as a non-profit corporation, make
It unprecedented in corporate history. ETS is exempt
from federal and state income taxes, is effectively beyond
the reach of many anti-trust laws, and has no stock-
holders. ETS escapes the restraints governing other cor-
porations because it is an "educational" institution.
The power of ETS is massive, as even one ETS execu-
tive conceded. "No matter what they try to tell you here
about how we really don't have much power," he said,
"we know we do. We know we're the nation's gate-
keeper." This gatekeeper can determine who enters
college, graduate and professional schools, as well as many
occupations and professions. Is that power legitimate?
ETS defends its role as the gatekeeper by claiming it
has developed the "science of mental measurement," but
as our report will argue, the tests measure nothing more
than how you answered a few multiple-choice questions.
The correlation between SAT scores and first-year grades
in college, for example, is often lower than the correlation
between the test scores and the income of the test taker's
parents. At best, standardized tests measure the special-
ized skill of test-Uking, but they do not measure key
determinants of success such as writing and research skill,
ability to make coherent arguments, creativity, motiva-
tion, stamina, judgment, experience, or ethics.
ETS not only influences how institutions judge
individuals, however; it also influences how individuals
judge themselves. As Nairn says, "A false self-estimate or
image is instilled in the mind of the individual who
receives a standardized test score. For although the scores
are significantly determined by social class, he is told they
are objective, scientific measures of the individual."
Moreover, test takers are subject to numerous injus-
tices, ranging from incorrect scoring of tests, to late re-
porting of applicant information, to secret evaluation of
grades and test scores - and they have no recourse.
We must begin to examine the examiners.
There is a growing movement to reform and restruc-
ture the testing industry. In New York, Ohio, Texas, and
other states, student-run Public interest Research Groups
(PIRGs) have introduced "Truth in Testing" legislation in
their state legislatures. This legislation would force ETS
and other testing companies to disclose test questions and
answers, and all studies and data on the tests; it would
also require companies to keep information on applicants
confidential. Disclosing test answers would enable stu-
dents to contest disputed answers, and thus eliminate
much of the mystery surrounding the tests. ETS has said
it is willing to release 99% of its test data. But, Nairn says,
the bulk of this 99% is the material provided by the test-
takers themselves - name, social security number, etc.
Nairn says it is crucial to disclose that last one percent, as
it includes ETS's extrapolations from the information
provided by test-ukers - such as predictions of future
academic success.
The testing reform movement has other facets. Jesse
Jackson is organizing around the issue of the ETS
National Teacher Examinations which have systematically
eliminated qualified black applicants from teaching jobs.
The FTC has apparently found, contrary to ETS claims,
that certain kinds of prep or cram courses can raise test
scores - but the report has been withheld at this time.
And several members of Congress have called for an
investigation of the testing industry.
Students now have opportunities to challenge the test
makers.
Individuals interested in this issue, or in sponsoring
Truth in Testing legislation, can contact Ed Hanley at our
office at P.O. Box 1931 2, Washington, D.C 20036.
The "Aggies" of Delaware Valley College regained
their offensive punch and capitalized on errors by the
opposition to post a 3-0 record last week. On Monday
(April 23) the "Aggies" journeyed to Susquehanna Univer-
sity and won a doubleheader 9-8 in 8 innings and 7-1. The
first game was a tight game with both teams making their
share of mistakes. Tom Francello got to first on an error,
advanced to second on a single by )im Dunbar and scored
on a fielder's choice and passed balls. The "Aggies"
played better in the second game and posted the 7-1 score.
Steve Fornoff had the win with 3 strikeouts and allowing
only two hits.
On Wednesday (April 2S) the "Aggies" spotted
Muhlenberg College three unearned runs In the second
inning but scored five in the third to take a 5-3 lead.
D.V.C added two insurance runs in the seventh and won
6-3 to complete their 3-0 week. Jeff Theibault got the
victory for the "Aggies" allowing 5 hits and 3 runs.
The '^Aggies" resume play today (Tuesday, May 1)
with a doubleheader at Kings College and Wednesday
(May 2) another doubleheader at Scranton. The last
regularly scheduled home game will be a doubleheader
against Moravian on Saturday (May 5).
DVC TIES URSINUS
- BEATS HAVERFORD
On Wednesday (April 25) Delaware Valley College and
Ursinus locked up in a classic track meet. The scores for
the day: Delaware Valley College 67, Ursinus 67 and
Haverford 47. Steve Lilly was a triple winner for D.V.C
winning the 100 and 220-yard dashes and the broad jump.
Mark Tankersley won the 1 20 high and 440 intermediate
hurdles. Other individual winners fof the "Aggies" were
Gary Walters in the shot, Seb Ca<5aro in the discus and
Warren Robertson in the javelin. The meet went down to
the final event, the mile relay and the tie resulted as
Haverford won, Ursinus took second, and D.V.C. third.
The MAC Track Meet is scheduled for May 4 and 5.
WEIGHTLIFTING
SHOWDOWN
by Scott Abrams
On Thursday, April 26th, the Weightlifting Club
initiated the 300 Club, which is a union of student lifters
who have demonstrated their power-lifting ability by
bench pressing 300 pounds. Although not fully publi-
cized, some individuals who knew about the event
attempted this extraordinary feat. I would like to con-
gratulate Tom Houpt, Bob Root, and Rich Caruso for
attaining this prestigious achievement; and, in addition, to
thank those individuals who gave a valiant attempt. This
achievement is acknowledged, most imporuntly, by
inscribing each name on a showcase plaque outside the
gym in the lobby. For further deuiis and information,
notify Scott Abrams in Ulman 105.
Also scheduled on that day was the intermurai power-
liftirig showdown. Unfortunately, not many showed any
interest as evidenced by the very ?ew entrants. However, I
would particularly like to acknowledge the 145 lb. weight
class consisting of James Berdsley and Dave Zawissa, for
demonstrating their interest, cooperation, and determina-
tion. In a very intense, and head-to-head combat involving
the three powerlifting events; bench pressing, squats, and
deadlifts - jim just barely defeated Dave.
Hopefully, next year plans such as these will meet with
greater success and fulfillment.
Xold hands."

WELCOME FRESHMEN
Dear Freshmen,
Although the welcomes must be getting fairly mono-
tonous by now, I too must welcome you to Delaware
Valley Q>llege. I hope that you will be able to »y th^t
you spent some of the most enjoyable moments of your
life here. If you take advantage of the wonderful oppor-
tunity which sUnds before you, you will also be able to
say that your upcoming four years will have been some of
the most profitable in both an educational and a social
sense.
Unfortunately, the campus has of late been influenced
by an astigmatism of falsely imagined inferiority. This
plague stretches through the student body and parts of
the faculty. It is, however, possible to rectify this situa-
tion with your help.
It is with this in mind that I challenge YOU, the
freshman class, to help in an effort to rejuvenate the
morale on campus by participating in the clubs and
intramural sports programs which are of your interest.
Also, you must work to your fullest potential with
regard to your studies in order to achieve an academic
superiority.
You should demand of your faculty and advisors to
have the intestinal fortitude to fail those who deserve it,
but also to 'maintain the compassion required to help
those who need and desire it. The standards should not be
lowered to meet the performance of the students. The
students' performance levels should be raised to a standard
for which the college will be highly regarded and the
students will not feel cheated.
If ever in your career here at Delaware Valley College
of Science and Agriculture you begin to lose your morale,
please consider this following thought. Science and agri-
culture are the resources to which man will inevitably
turn in an effort to heal his continually growing multitude
of self-inflicted wounds, and it is he who masters these
resources in both knowledge and application who will
perform a vital role in the amphitheatre of man's future.
Good luck!!!
Sincerely yours,
Richard E. Lewis

The Aggies of DVC successfully opened the 1979
season by defeating Washington and Lee University of
Lexington, Va., with a score of 30 to 0. Senior Bill
Mullen accounted for three touchdowns and totaled 118

FLOOR STATEMENT BY
SENATOR JOHN HEINZ
ON CARTER'S REMARKS
ON THE PALESTINIAN
ISSUE
"Mr. President, it is reported in yesterday's (August 1)
New York Times in an article by Leonard Silk, that
President Carter has likened the Palestinian issue to the
"civil rights movement in the United States." I am
shocked that up to this moment the White House has
failed to set the record straight. If indeed the President
has been quoted correctly and is comparing the Pales-
tinians and their representatives, such as the PLO, to
blacks in America and civil rights leaders such as Martin
Luther King, he is betraying his total ignorance of history,
denying today's reality and dangerously misleading the
American people.
There is no similarity whatsoever between the heroic
struggle for equality of American t>lacks, culminating in
what we call the Civil Rights Movement and what the PLO
is doing in the Middle East. Our Civil Rights Movement
was, as the President should know, characterized by an
abiding commitment to non-violence, eloquently, unfor-
gettably and most forcefully articulated by Martin Luther
King. The PLO has time and again proven itself nothing
more than a group of terrorists and murderers. They
respect no rule or law. They seek not civil equality but
the overthrow of a sovereign nation and staunch ally of
the United States. President Carter must not be allowed
to cause such unconscionable confusion. If the quotation
is incorrect, he should clarify it.
I believe the President should fully retract his state-
ment immediately and I urge him to do so without any
further delay.

WASHINGTON WATCH
Truth-in-Testing" Becomes a Law
By Ralph Nader
WASHINGTON-Until this summer, the Educational Test-
ing Service in Princeton, New jersey, had good success in
keeping itself free from much public inquiry. Though its
standardized tests were taken by over 8 million customers
— required for admission at most college and graduate
schools in the country - ETS had successfully pulled a
cloak of secrecy over their operations, and kept them
secret despite the demands of consumer, parent, teacher
and student groups for more accountability.-
That was until this summer.
In July, while the students it affected were at work or
at the beach or catching up with summer courses, New
York Governor Hugh Carey signed into law the nation's
first strong "Truth-in-Testing" bill. The bill requires ETS
to make public internal studies on the tests' validity that
they have steadfastly kept secret; tell students how their
scores will be reported to schools and what they are
supposed to measure; and make the questions and correct
answers available to students who request them.
Clearly the bill only offers a reasonable modicum of
scrutiny of this vast and powerful private corporation. But
ETS fought it tooth and nail all the way. Last fall, they
succeeded in watering down a "Truth-in-Testing" bill
passed in California until it was virtually meaningless.
They completely blocked another bill proposed in Mary-
land this spring.
In New York, they launched their most vigorous
campaign to date. College Presidents and high school
principals were buried under waves of telegrams, mailings
and memos from ETS that misrepresented the provisions
of the bill and warned of dire economic consequences if it
passed. "I have never - never - received so much mail on
an educational bill," said one SUNY University President
"There's been a tremendous amount of pressure applied
here," said an associate of SUNY Chancellor Robert
Kibbee. "They came on like General Motors," added one
Albany lobbyist.
Though the company poured thousands of dollars
into the campaign, it was to no avail. A coalition of
parent, teacher, student, labor and minority groups led by
the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG)
successfully convinced the Legislature of the merits of the
bill. Hearings made it clear that any increased costs due to
the bill wouldn't be great enough to justify an increase in
fees or a decrease in services.
So the test companies turned to their last threat: with-
drawing the testing services they were created to provide.
Months before the first tests were scheduled to be given
under the new law, the Association of American Medical
Colleges and the American Dental Association announced
on July 17 that they were pulling their tests out of New
York — even though those tests are required for admission
to virtually every med school in the country. New York
legislators are now investigating this blatant attempt to
force the state to back off the law.
The testers couldn't punish a single state for demand-
ing some accountability if all the sutes under federal law
were demanding accountability. As Congressman Ted
Weiss of New York City said recently, the testers could
not pull out of the entire country: they would have to
choose between compliance and going out of business.
Along with Representatives Shirley Chisholm of New
York and George Miller of California, Weiss has intro-
duced a national testing bill, H.R. 4949. Besides extending
the provisions of the New York law to the entire country,
it would also require the testers to make public informa-
tion on how they formulated their fees and what they
were doing with your money.
Information is power, and the passage of this law
would begin to bring into line the balance of power
between the testers and the students they are supposed
to serve. Their lobbying efforts, as we have seen, have
been determined and expensive. To counter that, stu-

K,
Queen Elizabeth I, England's Virgin Queen, who dealt
with such things as the Spanish Armada, Francis Drake
and Sir Walter Raleigh, was not a woman of few words.
She spoke her mind freely, which has led Vacada
Humphrey to cull the quotes and come up with a
one-woman, two-act, 90-minute Elizabethan dramatic
collage called Henry's Daughter in which all the lines are
those of Elizabeth, as recorded by historians, friends, and
possibly foes.
Henry's Daughter presents us with the living portrait
of a dynamic woman at the end of her career. Knowing
her power and aware of her loneliness, she now faces the
dual problems of a young, hostile Parliament and racing
inflation.
The play is set in the Queen's study on the morning of
her final Parliament. Using varying techniques and draw-
ing on actual material from the whole of Elizabeth's long
reign, its dramatic shaping began a new trend in one-man
shows. Henry's Daughter is a compelling combination of
historical fact and theatrical entertainment.
Cavada Humphrey is best known for her performance
as Mrs. Patrick Campbell in Dear Liar. Her life-long
fascination with Elizabeth led her to compile this show
for America in 1971. It was critically acclaimed in New
York in 1973 and 1977 and comes to the Walnut
directly from England following record-breaking per-
formances at Wroxton Abbey and the Tower of London.

FCK)TBRIDGE TO BE
REPAIRED
By Marth Gehringer
As one strolls around Lake Archer, a footbridge is
noticed, but ignored, since it is doubtful that it would be
able to support a human's weight. Now, however, one no
longer will need to ignore it. Mr. Happ, Superintendent of
Grounds, has stated that action will be taken to repair
the footbridge shortly.
As it stands, or falls now, the footbridge has only a
few planks remaining and most of these are either cracked
or rotten. The rails alongside the bridge appear to be
suffering from old igt. They are wobbly and deteriorating.
But the reason for the lack of attention to the bridge
is a logical one. The weather this summer was extremely
uncooperative and when it did clear, other more pressing
jobs were waiting. Now, however, the number of more
urgent jobs is beginning to subside, thus allowing Mr.
Happ's crew to complete other tasks, such as repairing the
footbridge.
When the footbridge does eventually receive its face-
lift, changes could be made to its appearance. Some of the
possibilities include: removal of the rails on either side,
since they are really not needed; making the bridge more
substantial in some way; or even complete removal of the
bridge because of the obvious unnecessary job it fulfills,
although this last possibility is very remote.
So next time you walk by the bridge, smile - it just
might make it back to life after Dr. Happ is done with it.

COLLEGE
PHOTOGRAPHERS
TO GET RECOGNITION
The college photographer is about to gain a degree of
recognition.
That's a promise from the Paterson Darkroom Club, a
national organization of some 1 2,000 amateur photo-
graphers.
"Unfortunately, too many college students go un-
recognized for their accomplishments," a Paterson spokes-
man said. "Aside from sports, there are not many activi-
ties that allow a student to receive recognition, even if the
recognition is strictly personal.
"Some students excel in music, acting, photography
and other activities that may shape their future vocation,"
the spokesman continued. "Since the Paterson Darkroom
Club is involved with photography, we believe it would be
an excellent public service if we were to award a special
Certificate of Recognition to students who have news
pictures published in their college newspapers."
To receive a Certificate of Recognition, a student must
submit a black and white copy of his or her news photo,
along with a tearsheet from the college newspaper in
which the picture was published. Name and address
should be included on the back of the picture. Both
picture and tearsheet should be mailed to the Paterson
Darkroom Club, 211 East 43rd Street, New York, N.Y.
10017.
There is no deadline when pictures should be received.
They can be submitted at any time during the next
twelve months.
"This is not a contest," said the Paterson Darkroom
Club spokesman. "Editors of college newspapers will have
passed judgment on the pictures, and this is sufficient to
warrant a Certificate of Recognition for the student."
There is a chance that some photos may be published
in the national newsletter, Paterson Developments, it was
said.
CHANGES IN CALENDAR
ANNOUNCED
Apparently all students received a semester Calendar
of Events which was printed by Alpha Phi Omega. This
calendar was sent to students prior to the beginning of the
fall semester 1979 and was compiled before the official
College Calendar was issued from the President's office.
I must point out that some of the entries on this
calendar are INCORRECT. All students should make the
following changes on this calendar.
1. Monday, October 1, 1979 classes scheduled as
usual.
2. Classes resume after Thanksgiving vacation on
Monchy, November 26, 1979.
3. Classes will be held as usual on Wednesday, Decem-
ber 12, 1979 and Thursday, December 13, 1979.
4. Final examinations begin on Friday, December 14,
1979

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR GOSHEN SHOW RESULTS
Space O)loni2ation Advocated
Dear Editor,
As the decade of the 70's ends it appears as though
the decade of the 80's will be full of economic and
political insubility because we seem unable to come to
grips with an energy crisis that must be dealt with effect-
ively if western civilization is to continue. We have tried
to solve the problem but so far we have failed because we
believe that the solution lies here on this planet.
The simple fact is tfiat the "steady sUte" society as
advocated through policies of conservation and no-growth
will not work in the long run because we will still be
fitting over limited resources as the population from
underdeveloped and third world nations skyrockets up-
ward. We must give serious consideration to the idea of
space colonization if we are to have any chance of solving
our political, economic, social, ecological and other crises
that continue to multiply instead of diminish. The "High
Frontier" concept as fostered by Princeton physicist
Gerard K. O'Neil is an excellent vision whose time has
clearly come.
Space (particularly manned) exploration can be more
than just an expensive plaything as visualized by some. It
can become a tool to be used to face the greatest chal-
lenge of the second half of this century. Why can't we
give it a chance?
Sincerely,
Richard Proca

TOO MANY FOR TODAY
By Robin Lee Faulkner
Somerset Community College
Ferguson, Kentucky
The world today is faced viHth a multitude of problems
of supply and demand, the foremost and most explosive
being the shortage of food supplies. Man, with his basic
survival needs, is living precariously as he over-populates
his resource-limited environment. The year 2000 ap-
proaches, and, vtnth every second, we come closer to the
predicted population of over six billion.
What will this explosion of people mean? Many
possibilities can be visualized when predicting the future,
but one fact is certain: world resources are definitely
limited in their ability to provide for mass human survival.
Today the celebrated Green Revolution effects have
slowed following the oil shortage and its economic effects.
Fertilizers and pesticides are priced out of the range of the
average Third World farmer. Arable land is relatively fixed,
and the population of the ocean fisheries is diminishing
as more countries turn to the sea for protein. But the
human population is still growing and demanding more.
The United Nations has recognized approximately 160
nations, each state claiming sovereignty over its territory
and resources. As the problems of food supply and the
world's vanishing resources have become widely recog-
nized, private, bilateral and multilateral efforts have been
attempted to alleviate the pressures. They have not
achieved an economically feasible and lasting solution.
The 160 nations have tried to conquer hunger, but old
suspicions and political pressures have dimmed the
prospect of successful results. Most of the producing
nations' citizens do not face starvation or the fight for
survival, so they are able to concentrate on more indus-
trialized and aesthetic problems.
The time has come for unified action to combat this
future showdown for survival. What of unifying the world
under a league or an official alliance? These methods
throughout history have proven that they can produce
only minimal results, because there is no binding which
will hold when difficult or unpopular actions are neces-
sary. The United Nations la a league which has had some
international successes, but it has nb real power to bring
controversial solutions to fruition.
A world union of nations* can bring about an organ-
ized effort to preserve humanity and offer a way for
nations to survive through mutual assistance and organ-
ized productive action. The effects of hunger and resource
scarcity do not respect national boundaries. We could
eliminate trade barriers, resource hoarding and petty
bureaucracies by uniting under a central governing body
which would work along with national governments.
There are simply too many people and sovereign
nations for today's and tomorrow's challenges. Let us
form a union of nations* to conquer the problems of the
future today. As Clarence K. Streit said in his book
Union Now, "If we will not do this little for man's
freedom and vast future . . . catastrophe must come, and
there is no one to blame but ourselves."
* By quoting as support to the author's reasoning Clarence
Streit 's book Union Now, "notions" In the context used
Is presumed to be the sovereign citizens of the nations.

DEL VAL STUDENT WINS
CONSERVATION AWARD
PARENTS' DAY SET FOR
OCTOBER 6th
AGGIES TRAVEL TO
F.D.U. MADISON
Mrs. Margaret B. Canon, from Newtown, Pa., a senior
majoring in Agronomy, was awarded a $750 scholarship
in conservation by the Soil Conservation Society.
Mrs. Canon was one of the 24 recipients among a total
of more than 300 students from universities and colleges
from all over the United States and Canada who applied
for this award.
The scholarships are provided to encourage qualified
juniors and seniors to complete their training and pursue a
career in a conservation-related field.
The Soil Conservation Society of America (SCSA) is a
private, non-profit scientific and educational association,
dedicated to advancing the science and art of good land
use and conservation of our natural resources. It has over
15,000 members in the United Sutes, Canada, and 80
other countries.
According to Dr. Prundeanu, Chairman of the Agron-
omy Department, it is for the second year in a row that a
Delaware Valley College student has been awarded this
scholarship. This is a reflection of the kind of students
and the eduution they receive at the College. Last year's
recipient was Wesley Ramsey, who at present is working
with the Soil Conservation Service in Bucks County.

Lots H and I. Students who registered early for these
special permits may check with the Security Office to
see whether or not their requests were approved. The
permits are valid for the duration of the 1979-1980
school year.
Mr. Pence, the Director of Security, stated that all
student vehicles parking in Lots H and i MUST display
their permit on the dashboard or else will be ticketed.
Also, the permits are non-transferable and students must
enter and exit the grounds via the south gate.
Off to its best start in years, the "Aggies" of Delaware
Valley College travel to face the "Jersey Devils" of
Fairleigh Dickinson University at Madison on Saturday
in a Middle Atlantic Conference game. Last year DVC
defeated FDU 10-7 in a close contest to close out the
1978 season. This year is the first year of conference
play for the Jersey Devils who enter Saturday's contest
with an 0-2 record.
For FDU the players to watch are sophomore quarter-
back Cliff Koch and returning tailback senior Gene Dul.
Last year Koch connected on a 22-yard touchdown
pass for their only score. Defensively, sophomore Juan
Grau, a linebacker, leads the Jersey Devils.
Last week the Aggies upped their record to 2-1 by
defeating visiting Moravian College 20-5. The Aggies
got on the scoreboard first as senior Bill Mullen (Upper
Perkiomen, Pa.) scored a T.D. on a 70-yard run. Mullen
appeared to be tackled at the line of scrimmage but
scurried for the score on a good second effort. Gary
Myers (Pennridge, Pa.) added the extra point A blocked
punt provided tfie "Greyhounds" with a safety. The
only other scoring in the first half was a 33-yard field
goal by James Roberts.
DVC opened the second half with an interception
by Keith Sipple (Quakertown, Pa.) and a 45-yard run.
Myers added the extra point. The Aggies scored again
in the fourth quarter on a 40-yard run by Greg
Solicondro (Philadelphia, Pa.). Myers' kick failed.
The stingy Aggie defense did an outstanding job
holding the Greyhounds to 18 yards rushing, inter-
cepting two passes and recovering two fumbles.
On Tuesday, Moose Lodge 1284 of Doylestown
honored the outstanding players of the game along with
sUrs from both C.B. East and C.B. West High Schools.
The following DVC players were selected as Football
Players of the Week for their performances on Saturday.
Warren Robertson (Littlestown) Defensive Lineman
Keith Sipple (Quakertown) Defensive Back

MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATIONS:
THE NEW CAESARS.^
By Edwxird Barbier, Yale University
According to the authors of G/060/ Reach, Richard
Barnet and Ronald Muller, "the power of the global
corporation derives from its unique capacity to use
finance, technology and advanced marketing skills to
integrate production on a worldwide scale." By viewing
the world as "one economic unit," multinational cor-
porations (MNCs) employ centralized policy-making, in-
tegrated economies of scale and sophisticated communi-
cations technology to "coordinate decisions on pricing,
financial flows, marketing, tax minimization, research
and development, and political intelligence on a global
level . . ."
Consequently, for better or worse, the global outlook
and policies of MNCs have thrust mankind into an age
of increasing economic interdependence. Furthermore,
recent studies demonstrate that MNC activity is rapidly
expanding. For example, in 1973 the U.S. Senate Finance
Committee discovered that the average p-owth rate of
the more successful multinational corporations was two
to three times that of most advanced industrial countries.
And, quoting a Wharton School study by Professor
Perlmutter, Global Reach predicts that "by 1985, 200 to
300 global corporations will control 8096 of all productive
assets of the non-Communist world."
Although practically all multinational corporations
originate in industrialized democracies, by no means do
these countries control the operations of their MNCs.
In fact, throughout the 1970s, the policies of these
nations have consistently conflicted with the activities
of global corporations over such diverse issues as the sale
of NATO technology to the Soviet Union, the exporta-
tion of domestic jobs, speculations on the dollar, Third
World relations and energy policies. Yet, in nearly all
instances, it has been the leverage of national govern-
ments that has diminished in the face of expanding global
power.
Thus, according to Blake and Walters' The Politics
of Global Economic Relations, MNCs threaten national
power because "they are the most visible manifestation
of the limits on national autonomy imposed by the
global politicJ economy." Moreover, so long as existing
international organizations, such as the United Nations,
GATT and the IMF function primarily as sounding-
boards for national policies, the coordinated, global
outlook of a typical MNC "stands in vivid contrast with
the fragmented world view of the international organiza-
tion whose mana^ment has little authority and whose
member states often disagree not only on the means. . .
but also the subsunce of the objectives."
Therefore, what is needed to assess and address
properly the impact of multinational corporations is an
international forum that transcends the interests of
national governments and directly represents the views
of the people, the ones ultimately affected by MNC
expansion. Such a forum exists in the federal union
plan, which would unite the citizens of industrialized
democracies - people with similar social, economic and
political ideas - in an international organization that
could harness global corporate power as an agent for
worldwide peace and balanced economic growth.
In an interdependent world, the advent of a federal
union is a logical development. If the economic institu-
tions of industrialized democracies are rapidly trans-
cending national boundaries, then the social and political
goals of democratic peoples should follow.

HARRIERS SWEEP MEET,
NOW 3-1
by M. McManiman
After splitting a tri-meet September 15th at Wilkes,
the Harriers of Del Val returned home and swept this past
Saturday's meet.
Two weeks ago the Harriers traveled to Wilkes to take
on host Wilkes and Kings. The team fared well against
Kings, beating them 23-38, but suffered a tough loss to
Wilkes 30-25. Jim Parsons, a transfer student from
Ursinus, was the first man to finish the five-and-a-half
mile course in 27:53. Chip Cowher, 7th (29:49); Chuck
Steelman, 9th (30:32); Matt Hengel, 10th (30:33); and
joe Gilbert, 11th (30:34) were the other scorers fo» Del
Val. Also doing well were Bruce Murphy and Rich
Weidman, 13th (30:56); Craig Edgerton, 17th (31:32);
and Russ Rising, 19th (31:40).
After the upset loss to Wilkes, the Harriers put in a
hard week of practice in anticipation of this past
Saturday's home opener against Spring Garden and Phil-
adelphia Pharmacy. The rigorous workouts paid off as our
Harriers overwhelmed Spring Garden 15-50 and subdued
Pharmacy 24-35. Jim Parsons led the way, finishing the
five-mile-plus course in 28:39 (under conditions that were
anything but desirable), falling short of the course record
by fifty-three seconds. The course became more of a
challenge to stay afloat than to stay afoot due to Friday's
rain. The slick and swampy conditions caused quite a few
spills and thrills for several runners. One runner even lost
his shoes in the usually quiet Featherbed Stream.
Sue Wagner, a freshman, and Marie Castro, a senior,
were the first of six women entered to cross the finish
line with times of 39:53 and 41:57, respectively. Good
show ladies! Del Val's other top Harriers were Bruce
Murphy, 4th (30:51); Matt Hengel, 5th (31:03); Chuck
Steelman, 6th (31:11); and Rich Weidman, 8th (31:29).
Chip Cowher, 9th (31:42) and Joe Gilbert, 10th (31:52)
aided in giving Del Val seven of the top ten positions.
This Saturday the Harriers host Swarthmore at 1:30
and Scranton, Lebanon Valley and Philadelphia Textile on
October 6th at 2:00 p.m. Come on out and support your
team. Once again we remind anyone interested in running
should see "Doc" Berthold or meet in front of the James
Work Memorial Gymnasium at 4:15 weekdays. So come
on and join the fun!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR PARENTS' DAY
ACiCilE ALLer. . .
Dear Editor,
The Bill of Rights guarantees the right of freedom of
religion. This right is being infringed upon at DVC.
What I refer to is that classes will be held as usual on
October 1, instead of being cancelled. On this date, this
year, occurs the most important Jewish holiday Yom
Kippur. The reason given by Mr. Tasker for classes on this
date is to meet state requirements for number of class
days, since there are no longer Saturday classes. Granted
one can miss class, and get an excuse, but it is the prin-
ciple of the thing. It is comparable to having classes on
Christmas or Easter.
Name Withheld
OPTIMISM GROWS
AT DVC
To: The Editor
Collegian, DVC
As v^e begin this new academic year I sense in the air a
feeling of optimism and togetherness that is stronger than
has been usual at our College. Certainly part of that re-
flects the "clean slate" with v»rhich we begin each new
year. But somehow, I sense that this year is different in a
very positive way. I sense that this year people -faculty,
suff, students - are thinking a little bit less about them-
selves and a little bit more about what we can do together.
I sense a greater appreciation of what we have, what we
are doing, and, more important, the enormous potential
of what we can do if we all pull together.
I've tried to figure out why there is that feeling. I
don't have the answer. But still I feel it. Maybe we are
beginning to come around to the realization that what we
have here as a campus community is something to take
pride in, something worth working on to our mutual
benefit Whatever the reason, I have that feeling. And I
hope I'm right!
Sincerely,
John C. MerU

Kings, using their height advantage, spiked their way
to a win in the second game 15-9. In the third game,
Delaware Valley regrouped and defeated Kings 15-7.
Taking advantage of their momentum gained in game 3,
the Aggies jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the 4th game.
However, Kings coach, John Shields, called a much needed
time out, and his girls rallied to defeat the Aggies 15-8.

scored the home team 15-6. Outstanding performers for
Kings included: Captain Kandi Karuza, Abita Vassallo,
and Duffy Lombard.

DEL VAL FOOTBALL
NOW 3-2
By Paul Stanziale
On September 29, the Aggies traveled to Fairleigh
Dickinson College in Madison, Nj where they mounted a
convincing victory over the )ersey Devils 43-0. The win
already marks Del Val's best season in years. Bill Mullen
plunged across the goal line twice for the Aggies and
quarterbacks Tom Kenny and Ron Haraka each connected
for touchdown passes.
The real test came on October 6th, when Del Val
hosted Lycoming College. The Aggies took an early 9-0
lead with a safety and a touchdown. The defense was able
to preserve the lead until midway through the fourth
quarter. Lycoming quickly turned the game around,
accumulating 24 points. The Aggie defense, which played
most of the game, was tough, but unfortunately the
prolonged field time they had to endure took its toll.
Saturday, October 1 3th, the Aggies will be looking for
their fourth victory when they travel to Upsala College in
East Orange, N J.

"So this is what it's like down here!"
THE LAUNDROMAT,
OH BOY!
By l\1artha Gehr/nger
To laundry or not to laundry, that is the question.
One must wonder if clean clothes are worth the effort at
DVC. The fumes, the heat, the waiting - are clean clothes
worth all this? To Some the answer is NO and they have
found alternate methods to get their clothes clean, either
relying on dear old Mom, or lugging it to the laundry in
town.
Yet, what about the poor students who want clean
clothes and cannot rely on these alternate methods? They
are in the unenviable position of being at the mercy of the
laundromat here at DVC.
When one enters the laundromat the first impressions
are to leave because the heat is unbearable. But you push
in through the heat with your trusty machete and finally,
after considerable waiting, you obtain your washer. Then
the fun begins. An odor slowly becomes more noticeable,
panic sets in, for it is unidentifiable. Thoughts race
through one's mind. Is it a machine preparing to blow up,
a gas that could cause cancer, or a fume that could blow
your mind? You stay because the odds are on your side
(no one has died yet from doing his wash), and your wash
is going to the rinse cycle. Soon the heat becomes unbear-
able and you go gasping for breath into the hall. However,
this usually occurs just as a dryer beconrtes free, and since
you are unaware cf it, the wait continues. Eventually, you
do get your laundry dried, but then what? The ironing, of
course. But how does one iron without an ironing board
and iron? You then realize what this means - wrinkled
clothes!
Is anything being done to remedy this situation?
Where are the fans and the exhaust system?
Mrs. Navarre from the Residence Life Office com-
ments on this. The main problem is that the basement of
Ulman Hall was not meant to be a laundromat; therefore,
proper ventilation was thought to be impossible to install.
Then the Residence Life Office was made aware of the
fumes in the laundromat. Now, an exhaust system will be
"looked into". This will also, hopefully, alleviate some of
the heat problems.
Now about the ironing boards. True, there is a place
for them, but some time ago it was recommended that
they be removed. The reason for this is that the colle^
never provided irons, and it would be bothersome for
someone to carry his wash and iron down to Ulman
basement to iron. The alternate to this was an ironing
board on each floor in each women's dorms only. After
all, the stereotype man never irons anyway.
But alas, fear not! If a machine should attack you or
any other problems arise, such as a money-eating machine,
don't hesitate to report them to Mrs. Navarre in the
Residence Life Office in Allman Building. That's what
she's there for!

COACHES' CORNER
By Bill Caldwell
Assistant Coach J oe Coradetti
Coach Joe Coradetti has been on the Del Val coaching
suff for a year now as a part-time football coach. This
year he was promoted to a full-time position of defensive
coordinator and Head Track Coach. This is Coach Cora-
detti's seventh year at coaching football. His prior
experience includes two years of coaching Jr. High School
and three years at the High Schools - Central Bucks West
and Pennridge. Mr. Coradetti attended Juniata College in
mid-state Pennsylvania where he was an outstanding
athlete. His record there includes being a Middle Atlantic
Conference Track Champion.
When asked why Mr. Coradetti was selected as Assist-
ant Football Coach and Defensive Coordinator, Head
Coach Al Wilson noted his character, ability, and intelli-
gence as primary reasons for his choice. Wilson also
pointed out that being from the Middle Atlantic Confer-
ence (our own Conference) is a great asset to Del Val.
"He knows the teams we play against." added Wilson. "He
also has a. feeling and an understanding for athletes and
students." These are all good prerequisites for a coaching
post.
When asked if Mr. Coradetti has lived up to the expec-
tations of the staff, Wilson noted this season's record, the
highlights of which are two shutouts and a strong
defensive posture. Although the final outcome of last
week's Parents' Day game was a loss to Lycoming, Aggie
defense made an impressive first half showing; which, with
a blocked punt and a safety put two points on the board
for the Aggies. When asked to comment on his own
record, Mr. Coradetti reminded me that this is a team
effort and should reflect on the team and not only
himself.
"I hope I am contributing to a sound and good foot-
ball program," says Coradetti "and a solid athletic depart-
ment" when asked what he thought he could contribute
to Del Val. When asked how he likes it here, he said the
personnel and athletic department were made up of very
knowledgeable and responsible people; and he enjoys
working with tlwm. Mr. Coradetti also wants to make an
"excellent Track and Field program" in the spring. I am
sure we will be hearing more on that later in the year.

AGGIEGATORS OPEN
SEASON
The Lady "AggieGators" of Delaware Vatley College
opened their 1979-80 field hockey season Friday, Sep-
tember 28th, on Alumni Field in Doytestown, Pa., against
Muhlenberg College.
With the exception of a penalty stroke midway
throu^ the first half, neither team threatened offensively.
Linda Budrewicz (Engllshtown, N)), Aggie goalkeeper,
stopped 6 shots out of seven defensively, while the
offensive team had only seven shots on goal; three of
which sailed over the end line! The outstanding performer
for the Aggies on offense was Brenda Wolfe (Perkasie,
PA).
Anita Gregg scored the lone goal for the "Mules" and
proved to be the heroine as the "Mules" spoiled the Aggie
opener 1-0.
While the Lady field hockey players were struggling at
home, the Aggie volleyball team traveled to Messiah
College where they encountered a strong "set-spike"
combination and were defeated 3-0. The volleyball team
never untracked and found themselves playing defense
throu^out the match, which ended in little over an hour.
Game scores were: 15-4, 15-4, and 15-10.
The volleyball team, in its first varsity year, is now 0-2.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
One thing unique to DVC are the different zones
which exist on campus. Not only are there different time
zones, but there are also different climates.
The lecture room in Allman Building is the Antarctic
(hopefully the heating was repaired over the summer);
Feldman Agriculture Building is temperate; while Mandell
is the tropics. What happened to thd President's guidelines
for saving energy by keeping the thermostat at 68°F?
Also, one notices a singular lack of screens on the
buildings. Thus when windows are opened, it is an invita-
tion for flies and other insects to come in. This isn't so bad
in a classroom, but is disgusting to see in the David Levin
Dining Hall. Flies are extremely unsanitary. What can be
done to remedy this situation?
Speaking of food and the Dining Hall, will we still
have special dinners for various holidays? Everyone appre-
ciated the special dinners for Columbus Day, Valentine's
Day, and would like to see them continued. Who is
responsible for them? Student government or administra-
tion?
Sally Garber
STUDENT LOAN UPDATE
Anyone can now get an interest-free student loan.
There are no longer any restrictions such as high earn-
ings.
The federal government will pay the interest during
the tinne the student is in school and for a nine-month
period thereafter at which time the student must begin
repaying.
Passage last year of the Middle Income Student Assist-
ance Act assured students that no income test would be
used in obtaining a student loan free of interest while the
student is enrolled.
Then, just recently, additional legislation at the federal
level insured availability of funds from private lenders by
lifting a restrictive 5% maximum cap that had been placed
on a "special allowance" paid for participation.
According to the Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency, which administers the student loan
program for the Commonwealth, the special allowance
rau now will "float" with the 91 -day Treasury Bill rate,
and this will guarantee lenders a fair return on their
investment in the student loan market. Lenders receive
the special allowance in addition to the flat 7% they are
paid by the federal government for money loaned to
students.
The private lending community in Pennsylvania has
loaned $1,469,711,241 to 535,044 students since the
program began in 1964, with PHEAA serving as the
guarantor of these loans.
In recent years, the borrowing activity by students has
soared, increasing from $107,371,059 in 1975-76 to an
all-time high of $258,352,691 in 1978-79. Last year
lenders indicated to PHEAA that the possibility loomed
that student loan funds could dry up unless a more
favorable return on extended monies was made possible.
Efforts by PHEAA and the American Bankers Associa-
tion resulted in the "floating rate" legislation being
passed.
PHEAA Executive Director Kenneth R. Reeher said he
views the removal of the special allowance cap as being of
paramount importance in keeping alive the flow of funds
from private lenders to student borrowers especially now
that many middle and upper middle income families will
qualify for federal payment of interest charges for the
first time.
"Removal of the cap," said Reeher, "enables the
lender to cope with all market conditions over an ex-
tended investment period and is an approach that will
effectively encourage continued lender program involve-
ment." He also said that it ensures lenders a competitive
return on student loan accounts as compared with other
types of investments.

HIGHLIGHT TRI-MEET
SWEEP
By M. McManiman
Our Harriers are on the run! Saturday, September
29th, saw the team embarrass Swarthmore and Albright
by capturing seven of the top ten placements, including
first and third.
Jim Parsons, again, led the way beating his nearest
competitor by over one minute with a time of 28:46.
Bruce Murphy was the third runner to finish with a time
of 30:14. S. Daniels of Swarthmore finished second
(29:55) and F. Mirecki of Albright took the fourth posi-
tion (30:23). The next minute saw five Del Val Harriers
cross the line without any competition. Freshman Rich
(Jungleman) Weaver ran half the race barefooted and still'
finished sixth with a time of 30:58. Next to finish was
Rich Weidman (31:02), Craig Edgerton (31:08) and
Chuck Steelman (31:21).
By Saturday's decisive sweep, 19-44 over Swarthmore
and 18-45 over Albright, the Harriers brought their season
record up to five wins and one loss (5-1 ). It was also the
89th and 90th official victories for Coach Berthold who
started here in 1969. Including several "unofficial" wins,
it is very possible the team could collect the 100th victory
for "Doc" this season. If ever a record represented a
coach, this one is cerUinly true. ONE HUNDRED
VICTORIES IN TEN YEARS is something we can all be
proud of. Give us your support and we will make an all-
out attempt to GO FOR IT!
SIGHTSEEING IN BUCKS
COUNTY
It's Sunday afternoon. What better time is there to
take a drive. But where shall we drive? Through Bucks
County, of course! Ah, yes, scenic Bucks County - places
to go and things to do.
While driving down the historic highways, occasionally
we have to relax and enjoy the beauty of the rustic
countryside. Before we sit back just to enjoy the ride,
there are certain things that we must look (or should I say
"look out") for.
First, a good stiff bracer of tranquilizer is an excellent
start. Now that you are sufficiently drugged, you can face
the roads full steam ahead.
Out-of-state drivers, the arch enemy of the Pennsyl-
vania road. A good idea for newcomers to the Bucks
County scene, driving its roads for the first time, is to
start out by just following a few New Jersey or New York
drivers. Use caution when doing this, though. Start by
following them short distances at a time. This will aid in
cutting down on hair loss and cost. (Pcpto Bismol is
expensive.) Finding a New Jersey driver won't be very
hard since they usually pull out directly in front of on-
coming cars. Soon, even the novice can readily pick out
the characteristic swerving from one side of the lane to
the other. As a rule the car in question will also be poking
along at 20 m.p.h. under the speed limit while pointing at
every unusual sight. Sometimes this slow driving precedes
a turn. You usually won't know this until it's too late
because turn signals are not standard in out-of-state cars.
This is only the beginning of your adventure. This
County is a farm community, and so the roads are full of
farmers and farm equipment. Farm equipment poses an
especially difficult problem. This is figuring out what is in
the container being pulled by the tractor. Liquid fertilizer
isn't too bad. The worst that can happen is to have some
liquid spill onto the car, dissolve the paint and eat through
the hood. Grain isn't bad unless it's still on the cob, in
which case the ear corn will mysteriously jump from the
wagon and smash the windshield. Following a manure
spreader speaks for itself. The worst thing of all is that
tractors are deathly slow and usually too wide to get
around. Forget trying to intimidate the operator of the
tractor because he knows it's a one-ton car against nine
tons of tractor pulling a few tons of equipment. Besides,
the farmer enjoys watching a car go off onto a soft
shoulder and sink up to the axles.
Next week we'll look at a few more of the fun people
you're likely to meet on an afternoon drive.
TUTORING SERVICE
D.T.A., the National Agricultural Honor Society, is

student requiring assistance is eligible for this aid. If
interested, please contact Mr. Fulcoly in Lasker Hall, or
Cindy Cybowski, Barness Hall, Room 210, P.O. Box 924.

UPSALA DOWNS -DVC,
21-13
By Paul Stamiale
The Delaware Valley Aggies dropped their record
to 3-3 in a game where interceptions were the deciding
factor. In fact, Del Val had 4 passes intercepted.
An interception by Chuck Witczak 3:19 into the
fourth quarter lead to an Upsala 41 -yard scoring drive,
breaking a 7-7 tie. The conversion failed, leaving the score
13-7.
The nfiost critical interception came with 1:46 left in
the game. The Aggies had the ball in good field position
when Bob Peters of Upsala intercepted a Tom Kenny pass
and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown. The two-point
conversion attempt was good, making the score 21-7.
Del Val's first score came from a 93-yard drive in four
playf late in the third quarter. Tom Kenny hit tight end
Phil Boob for the T.D. Metro Malasavage caught a touch-
down pass from Tom Kenny on the last play of the game,
making the final score 21-13.
4 Although he tossed three interceptions, Tom Kenny
unted 204 yards in the air. Upsala literally shut down
the Aggie running attack, allowing only 38 yards for the
whole game.
The Aggies' defense again played a fine game but the
offense failed to provide the needed relief.
Del Val still has some leading statistics. There are three
remaining games and two are at home. A strong attend-
ance from both students and faculty would help to spark
some more Aggie victories.

DRESSING UP ON
CAMPUS
By Martha Gehringer
A itrange phenomenon is sweeping across the campus;
Ifte iiniform of the standard college student is not solely
|#ant and sneakers any more. Rather dresses and skirts,
kjgh heels and boots have made the invasion into the
#>s«tf of the dorms.
# And what, you nuy ask, it the reason for this? They
f»nie from the zany, "I usually hate to, but when the
spirit strikes me, I like to shock people" to the practical,
"I ran out of clean jeans," to the more intimate one of
attracting the opposite sex. Random sampling of the
student body reveals various reasons for dressing up. Some
of the reasons are these: "I felt like it," "a full day of
classes", "Why not?", "special occasions", "to show off
new clothes", and "No labs."
No matter what the reason, the results are obvious;
the student body is looking good!
Dear Editor,
I have been disturbed by the present cohdition of
Delaware Valley's dairy farm. My concern stems mainly
from the recent failure of our farm to pass inspection.
Not only has our farm been unsuccessful in passing one
time, but on three consecutive inspections it has fallen
short of the goal.
My distress is legitimate for several reasons. First, the
situation at our dairy is a direct reflection on the students.
To attend any college or university today, especially a
private school, requires a great deal of money and time.
However, a quality education is worth the sacrifices.
Obviously an education of high caliber entails a degree of
excellence in every aspect of that educational process.
DVC is dedicated to science and agriculture, and the dairy
would seem to be high on the priority list of the College's
interests.
Another valid reason for my concern is the adminis-
tration's unknowing attitude. Whether the administration
has been misinformed, or is taking a purely apathetic
position is not the point. The only proper attitude is that
a problem must be recognized and dealt with accordingly.
In the end, the administration has the final say in all
matters concerning the college. It is up to DVC's execu-
tives to determine what department receives the attention
of the school. They allot money, manpower, tim?, and a
host of other resources to the areas in which they see fit.
An important sidelight to this situation is that no one
person, or one bureaucratic department can be blamed for
the problems at our dairy. The condition exists because
everyone of us has let it get out of hand. The "students are
responsible for applying pressure to the administration,
and supplying the majority of the work force. The
administration is responsible for realizing that a problem
exists, for having concern for the present and future merit
of our College, for having concern for the student's
educational experience, and for allocating the resources
needed to correct the ditemna.
Respectfully submitted,
James Quartuccio
By R. Ruch
While one may be asking this question, the answers
received may be astonishing to hear:
"Oh, D.T.A. again. Yeah, I know all the denul tech-
nicians on campus!"
Or maybe, "Isn't that some sort of new punk rock
group?"
And finally, "You mean we actually have a club like
thatat Del Val?l"
Yes, everyone, Del Val does have an Eastern Chapter
of Delta Tau Alpha, alias D.T.A. The D.T.A.'s orgar.iza-
tion is an honor society for non-land grant agricultural
colleges.
The members, all agricultural, are first selected by an
overall grade average of 2.5 and at least a 3.0 in all
agricultural courses. This list of candidates is then picked
over by the existing D.T.A. members for their involve-
ments and activities at Del Val. A vote of two-thirds is
then needed to accept the new member. At this point
letters of acceptance are sent to these select people Ifi
hope they will join the organization.
D.T.A. has existed here back to the days of the
National Farm School. D.T.A. is involved in a college
tutoring service for needy students, along with supportii^
leadership, scholarship, and the fine profession of ai^ici^-
ture. ■
Now that everyone knows what and who we are, v«
wish everyone a happy and educational school year.

HEINZ URGES
Washington -Senator John Heinz (R-Pa) has introduced a
bill which states that the United States Congress feels that
the Soviet Union should assure full and equal participa-
tion in the 1980 Summer Olympics for all athletes,
spectators and journalists.
"I am calling upon the Soviets to refrain from harass-
ing and discriminating against citizens of any hation,
religion, political affiliation, or ethnic background during
the 1 980 Olympics," Heinz said.
"The Soviet Union has indicated that it will exclude
representatives from Radio Liberty, Radio Free Europe,
and the Voice of America from covering the Olympic
games. A new Soviet law subjects all former Soviet
citizens, regardless of current citizenship, to Soviet law.
This is a direct threat to Soviet emigres who wish to
attend the games as participants, spectators, or journalists.
"Such policies clearly violate the substance and spirit
of Olympic fair play, mutual respect and equity for all.
To allow discrimination and harassment in any form
would render the Olympics a meaningless and politicized
farce.
"This resolution calls for the Soviets to abandon their
reprehensible disregard for individual freedom. We must
not remain silent while the Soviets continue to ignore the
ideals and essence of the Olympic spirit.
"It is imperative that both Houses of Congress join
together to issue a statement of strong concern over
Soviet policies which will inevitably affect international
participation at the 1980 Moscow Olympics."
This resolution was introduced in the House by Jack
Kemp (R-NY) and 31 other House cosponsors. Senate
cosponsors to date include Foreign Relations Committee
Member S.I. Hayakawa (the bill has been referred to the
Foreign Relations Committee for action), and Senators
Goldwater, Schmitt, Armstrong, Boschwitz, Humphrey,
Thurmond and Stevens.

PARSONS SHINES AS
HARRIERS LOSE MEET
- NOW 6-3
By Mike McManiman - An AGTC exclusive
Parents' Day 1979 was a toUl loss for Del Val
athletics. It will be a day not soon forgotten as we
suffered through home losses in soccer, football and cross
country, as well as an away loss in hockey.
Our Harriers faced their first challenge of the year
taking on Lebanon Valley, Scranton University and
Philadelphia Textile. Textile opted not to run against the
stringent competition, therefore guaranteeing all other
teams at least one victory. That victory was to be the
only one our Harriers would savor this day.
Our Harriers were simply outclassed as only one of the
top ten runners was from Del Val. Jim Parsons brought
the Parents' Day crowd to a roar as he entered the sta-
dium neck to neck with L.V.'s Lee Pelton. Responding to
the crowd, Jim let it all loose and outdistanced Pelton by
ten Seconds. This was also Jim's best performance of the
year as he completed the course in 28:28. The next
minute and a hajf looked like a contest between L.V. and
Scranton as nine runners crossed the fifty-yard marker
before Del Val's Matt Hengel finished in the eleventh
position at 30:03. Chip Cowher was our third man in,
finishing thirteenth overall with a time of 30:18. The
next D.V.C. runner to finish was Jim Murphy, 16th, at
30:55. Rich Weidman was 17th finishing in 30:58; Craig
Edgerton was 19th with a time of 31:19; Joe Gilbert was
21st at 31:43. Rounding out our top ten was Carl
Peilington, 22nd, at 31:55; Rich Weaver, 23rd at 32:01;
and Rick Stein man, 25th, at 32:23.
NOTE: Six of our top ten finishers put in the best
performances of the year on the home course. Congratu-
lations to Lauren Clauson, cut 4:00 off best time; Marie
Castra, cut 2:17 off best performance; and Kathiann Held
and Jeanne Cranny who cut over a minute off their best
runs. Way to go, ladies!

GINKGOS STILL
FLOURISH IN DVC
HISTORY
By Martha Gehringer
The famous Ginkgo trees on campus are to be admired
in spite of their fragrant smell. The Ginkgo trees are the
only living representative of its division, Ginkgophyta,
still alive. Therefore, it can be considered a living fossil.
One characteristic of this tree is the fact that it is a
deciduous tree like the oak - it looses its leaves.
It seems that these trees have been here a long time.
When they were first planted, it was unknown if they
were male or female trees, so it was almost impossible to
avoid the female trees and their little bombs of smell.
It was perhaps the smell that was responsible for the
actions of some students sometime during the 60's. These
students attempted to destroy the Ginkgo trees by
girdling them. However, as time has proven, they were
unsuccessful in their attempts since the Ginkgo trees
live on!
The Ginkgos have mana^d to sustain themselves in a
variety of ways from these attacks. One way is that the
Cambium has, in some cases, remade some of the phloem
which was removed by girdling. Another way is the buddy
system that the trees have. Their roots have fused together
thus sending sugar from a healthy tree to a sickly one.
Still another way is through a fungus organism called
Mycorrhizae that grows into the roots and moves sugar
from the hardier plants to the ailing ones. But despite
these methods, two of the Ginkgo trees which were
attacked more vigorously may eventually die. These trees
have provided' a living laboratory to show the effects of
girdling.
The fruits which the Ginkgo tree graciously provides
are actually fleshy seeds. These seeds contain butyric
acid which is the reason for the smell.
Although during the fall the Ginkgo provide a con-
stant challenge to avoid their seeds, they do provide some
needed shade during the summer so they are not all bad
all the time.

A SLIGHT
INCONVENIENCE
By Jeff Montagnoll
Have you ever entered the Krauskopf Library here at
DVC, looked around at the multitude of resources avail-
able for your use, spent a considerable amount of time
searching the card catalog and then were unable to find
the only book you needed on the shelves? Perhaps you
thought someone else had checked it out or that it was
still sitting on a return cart. After searching in vain, with
the help of the librarian, the only conclusion was that it
was removed by some light-fingered thief.
Many suc!i cases as this have happened to many
people who depend on the DVC library for their informa-
tion, it was this reason, along with the appeals of students
and faculty, that helped the Board of Trustees to finally
take measures to stop the stealing, though the problem
has been known for years. Perhaps they hoped that those
who stole things would sometime need something that
someone else had stolen and this would eventually put a
halt to the problem. Something that rational is against
human nature. Obviously it did not work and neither did
the student-to-student plea in an article in last year's
Collegian. There was no other alternative except a security
system installed this year.
Most people who have been to the library have en-
countered the new system, which appears to be more like
a turnstile in a downtown Philadelphia subway. Granted
that the system is totally out of place in front of the
double glass doors and the beautiful architecture of the
building, but it is in its rough stages now and needs a bit
more work. At least it is a start.
Mrs. Shook, the head lite^arian, admits that the staff
has kept track of the steady losses, though there was no
way to really control it. The cost of t>ooks, as all college
studerits who bought any should know, has gone up
unbelievably, not to mention the amount of time spent
on each book by the librarians, preparing them for the
shelves. "New information and material is always coming
out and we can't afford it if we have to keep spending
money on replacing stolen books," said Mrs. Shook. She
would also like to remind everyone that if they cannot
find the materials they need, not to give up. Ask for help
and if this library does not have it, they may be able to
obtain it for you through the interlibrary loan program
which connects our library to the many others in the
county. Be sure to allow plenty of time so that you get
the material when you need it, though.
If you find now that you are inconvenienced by the
turnstiles as you enter or exit the library, think of how
inconvenienced you would be if the materials you needed
were stolen. For those of you who Insist on "borrowing"
materials without the use of your library card, we hope
the new system is very inconvenient for you.
SOCCER TEAM DEFEATS
DREW IN MEMORY OF
TEAMMATES
By Tom Umrath
Despite the unfortunate deaths of sdccer co-captain
Dale Page and goalkeeper Sam Jackson on Friday,
October 26th, the Aggies went on to win their final home
match of the season on homecoming weekend. They
tackled powerful Drew University in an emotional game
dedicated to the memory of their two teammates.
The Aggies, wearing memorial black armbanas on their
uniforms, opened the scoring in the first half with an
unassisted goal blasted into the upper corner of the net by
forward Vin Ziccardi.
Drew retaliated early in the second half to tie the
score 1-1. The Aggies kept up the pressure, however,
continuously attacking the defense in one of their best
performances of the season. Good defenslv* work by the
Aggies held off the Drew attack. Halfway through the
second period, forward Pete Johnson slipped a pass by a
lone Drew defender to Striker Eric Cheromcka who easily
beat the goalie and lifted the Aggies to a 2-1 victory.
The win was a particularly significant one for Delaware
Valley, since Drew battered the Aggies 10-Oin a contest
last year. It was also a fitting victory in the memory of
Dale Page and Sam Jackson, who will be sadly missed by
their fellow players and students.
HARRIERS CORNER
By Mike McManiman
Our Harriers ran three meets the last two weeks and
ended up with two wins and two losses.
WHO WAS THAT FLASH?
Saturday, October 1 3th, saw Del Val travel to Beth-
lehem to take on Moravian. Jim "Dogbait" Parsons, led
the way for the Del Val squad. The fleetfooted Parsons set
a new course record, 26:46, knocking 0:14 off the
previous best time. The Harriers bested Moravian 23-37,
including seven of the top ten positions. The five-mile
course saw Bruce Murphy finish fourth with a time of
28:04; Matt Hengel was 5th (28:16); Rich "Stones"
Weidman, 6th (28:34); Chip Cowher, 7th (28:34); Rich
Weaver, 8th (28:45); and Craig Edgerton, 10th (29:09).
Nice grouping guys!
I THOUGHT YOU HAD THE KEYSI
On Saturday, October 20th, our Harriers were to travel
to Selinsgrove to take on the Indians of Susquehanna
University. For a while it looked as If the squad would not
leave the parking lot as someone had "misplaced" the
keys for the van. After contemplating the problem, our
Security Force bolted to their supercharged street
machine and sped off to Bender-Milts Chevrolet. Well . . .
we got new keys and soon found ourselves at Susque-
hanna.
Much to our surprise, and later delight, we were also
to run against York College. The race soon began and
unfortunately there was much pushing and shoving. After
only fifty yards, Jim Parsons saw a familiar shoe gently
glide by his head . . . HIS!! Running with an Achilles
injury, Jim found it difficult to carry on and was forced
to drop out after only three-quarters of a mili.
This unfortunate incident turned what was to be a
very close race into a rather one-sided Susquehanna
victory, 21-35. The Harriers did not completely lose out,
as we did defeat York 25-36. Our squad ran a good race,
but without Parsons we did nr^t have the necessary foot-
power. Matt Hengel was the first Del Val man to cross the
line in the fifth position at 25:52. Rich Weidman was 8th,
26:21; Bruce "Murph" Murphy, 9th (26:30); Chip
Cowher, 10th (26:30); and Chuck Steel man, 13th (26:49)
round out the scorers. The next five Harriers finished as
follows: Joe Gilbert, 16th (27:30); Carl Pellington, 19th
(27:49); Russ Rising, 23rd (28:32); Rich Steinman, 26th
(29:27); and myself, 27th (31:40).
On Wednesday, October 24th, our Harriers traveled to
Kutztown State College. For the first time this season our
squad suffered back-to-back losses.
Jim Parsons was the top man, finishing the five-mile
course in 26:58. The only other Harriers to make the top
ten were Bruce Murphy, 4th (28:11); Chip Cowher, 8th
(28:52) and Matt Hengel, 10th (29:35). Rounding out the
Del Val squad were Rich Weidman, 11th (29:53); Chuck
"Tripod" Steelman, 12th (30:03); Carl Pellington, 14th
(30:17); |oe Gilbert, 16th (30:47); Craig "Edger"
Edgerton, 17th (30:54); Rich Weaver, 18th (30:49); and
Ed Kulp, 20th (34:05).
NOTES: The Harriers compiled an 8-5 record, compared
to last year's record of 7-8. Jim Parsons completed an
undefeated season. Special thanks are extended to Dr.
Miller and Chip Cowher's family, who made the Susque-
hanna loss a little sweeter.
Next Week: A Season In Review
DVC LAW SUIT TO BE
APPEALED
Many students have heard rumors regarding a lawsuit
involving Delaware Valley Colle^, Doylestown Township,
Sunny Beverages, and the Doylestown Maennerchor
Society. It has even come to the poiht where friends of
DVC students who attend other colleges in Pennsylvania
have been inquiring about it since it has had a definite
effect on alcohol policies at many colleges In Pennsylvania
as well as throughout the eastern United States. In order
to bring our student body up to date on the situation,
Mr. Tasker was asked to set the record straight According
to Mr. Tasker the facts of the law suit are as follows.
The sophomore class (Class of 1977) held a cla»
picnic in April of 1975 at the Maennerchor Society picnic
grove in Doylestown. When the picnic was being planned,
the class officers arranged for the purchase of six kegs of
beer, even though their faculty advisor advised them that
this was not permitted, and in fact was unaware that they
were doing this. The College Student Handbook at that
time pointed out the Pennsylvania state law which set the
legal age of 21 for buying, consuming or possessing liquor
or beer, and also stated the College regulation prohibiting
the use or possession of alcohol on the campus or at off-
campus college-sponsored affairs. In any event, the picnic
took place as planned and during that afternoon, an open
bar was set up, and members of the class served as bar-
tenders. Approximately ISO students were in attendance;
however, no members of the College faculty or adminis-
tration vrare present at the affair.
When the picnic was over, three sophomores, all 19
years of age at the time, were returning to the campus
when they were involved in a car accident. While passing
through an intersection of a Doylestown street commonly
referred to as "Dip Street", the driver lost control of the
car, causing it to collide with a parked car. One passenger,
Donald Bradshaw, incurred a cervical fracture of the spine
and is to this day paralyzed from the neck down.
Approximately a year after the accident, the College
learned that the injured student and his parents were
bringing suit against the College (for negligence), Doyles-
town Township (for poor maintenance of roads), Sunny
Beverages (selling to minors), the Maennerchor (permitting
minors to drink on their property) and the driver of the
car (student, Bruce Rawlings).
The trial took place in Federal Court (due to diversity
of citizenship) in May, 1978, and the student and his
parents won the case. In the first phase of the trial, the
jury found the College and the other defendants liable,
and in the trial on the issue of damages awarded the
student 1.2 million dollars in compensatory damages.
The College will be appealing this decision in the near
future before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third
Circuit and the outcome of this appeal will have a re-
sounding effect on the alcohol policies of not only
Pennsylvania colleges, but colleges throughout the
country. The American Council on Education and the
Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities has
filed an amicus brief, supporting Delaware Valley College.
This brief asserts that the major issues in the case pertain-
ing to the College are (1) whether the duty of the College
to supervise its students extends to a college "related",
social activity held off the College premises where
intoxicating beverages are served; (2) whether the lower
court erred in defining the duty of care owed by the
College on the facts of the case; and (3) whether there was
sufficient evidence to support the jury's imposition of
liability upon the College.
According to Mr. Tasker the decision of the court has
generated much comment among college and university
administrators concerning the use of alcoholic beverages
on campus. If this decision is upheld by the Court of
Appeals, many colleges will take a very close look at their
alcohol policies, since there is much concern about
liability on the part of the institution. "I feel this decision
was extremely unfair and it leads people to believe that
the College was responsible for setting up the picnic and
encouraging students to participate. "Nothing could be
further from the truth," said Tasker. "If they can hold us
responsible for an event such as this which was held off-
campus and the resulting accident, It makes you wonder
how far the courts will go in placing responsibility on an
Institution for the actions of its students."

MORE SIGHTSEEING
IN BUCKS COUNTY
On sunny summer days, if you're thinking of seeing
a key point, such as New Hope or Peddler's Village, do so
only if you enjoy sitting In a 3-mile long line traveling
behind an out-of-state driver at 35 miles an hour down a
main highway. You're then confronted by desperate
drivers and short traffic lights, a combination that often
results in a crushed fender or a smashed headlight.
If you think that you can avoid this whole mess by
going down a back road, forget it! Usually by 6 a.m. you
can expect to meet a small convoy of tractor trailers.
These men generally control the road; i.e., tdeir lane and
half of yours. You can meet these trucks when they are in
one of two conditions- empty and roaring down the road
at 70 miles per hour to beat the next truck to the quarry;
or full, droning along at half the speed limit.
Did you ever wonder about the men who join a
volunteer fire company? Well, in Bucks County, if you're
lucky enough to be on the road when the whistle blows,
you'll be able to stop wondering. One moment you may
be driving along, all alone on some nice, narrow road, and
the next you'll be confronted by a speeding car or truck
with blue lights flashing. It seems as though every way
you turn, vehicles are converging on you! These firemen,
although fairly good drivers, demand respect. Try not to
worry about them too much though. (Save some of the
worry for yourself.) Passing on hills, around curves and
across double yellow lines with oncoming trafflc is ho-
hum life. It is courteous (and wise?) to allow these men
to pass easily since they are protecting you and your
property.
One classic problem faced is the local redneck. If you
don't meet him while he's responding to a fire call, he
may be recognized by the beat-up 4-wheel drive or '58
Chevy pickup he's driving. He's a dangerous man to follow
close behind since he habitually chews tobacco and spits
out the window, leaving brown streaks on the side of his
truck and brown splats on the front of your car. He also
feels that he owns the road and if he feels you're intrud-
ing, he'll let you know either with words or gestures.
Congratulations! You've survived out-of-state drivers,
farmers, truckers, traffic, fires and locals. Now sit back
and relax and look at the sights and . . . wham! Sorry, I
forgot to mention the deer that jumped out of the woods
in front of your car, or the tree that jumped out in front
of your car when you svyerved to miss the rabbit that
jumped out in front of the car.
Oh, well, the front end needed aligning anyway. It will
make the car easier to drive when you take it out this
weekend!
Have a nice drive!
DEL VAL SOIL JUDGING
PLACES SECOND
To the Collegian:
Delaware Valley College hosted the 1979 Northeast
Regional Intercollegiate Soil Judging Contest on Saturday,
October 13, 1979. This was the second time our College
served as host to a regional contest, the first one being
held in the fall of 1972.
A total of 74 students participated in the contest,
representing seven universities and colleges - namely,
Cornell, Maine, Maryland, Penn Sute, Rhode Island,
Rutgers and Delaware Valley College.
The Soil Judging Team of Delaware Valley College
placed second; Penn State placed first. What is also quite
significant is that five DVC students placed among the
first ten high-scoring individuals, an unusual feat for any
team. Placing among the first ten were Jeff Miller,
fourth highest; Glenn Ayers, seventh; Marian Payer,
eighth; Jeff Novak, ninth; and Dianne Lake, tenth.
By placing second, the Delaware Valley College team
will represent the Northeastern Region to the National
Soil Judging Contest to be held in April, 1980, at
Pennsylvania Sute University together with the University
of Maryland.
Dr. Palkovics, the coach of the DVC team, Mr.
Hepner who assisted him especially during the week
preceding the contest, and the members of the DVC
team should be congratulated and commended for a job
well done and for representing our College with such dis-
tinction in a very tough contest in which they were
competing against some of the best Soil Judging teams
in the country.

APOCALYPSE NOW
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring - Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen
Directed by - Francis Ford Coppola Rating- R
Four years and thirty million dollars later, Francis
Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now is here. The film, a third
in a series of Vietnam films (Coming Home and The Deer
Hunter are the other two) Is possibly the most spectacular
film event of the decade. Whereas, Coming Home and The
Deer Hunter deal with the effect that the Vietnam war
had on United States civilians, Apocalypse Now is about
what happened in Vietnam. The film it loosely based on
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Sir James Frazer's
The Golden Bou^. Although Marlon Brando has top
billing, it is Martin Sheen's journey up the river to meet
Brando that is the central base of the film. Martin Sheen
gives a brilliant performance as Captain Willard. Marlon
Brando's performance of Col. Kurtz, ttie renegade Ameri-
can colonel, is performed with the actor's usual imagiru-
tive creativity. It is, however, Robert Duvall, as the
lunatic Colonel Kilgore, whose performance clearly places'
this actor in the front running competition for an Acad-
emy Award performance. The film is also supported
rather well by Michael Herr's narration and by an imagina-
tive musical score by Carmine Coppola and Francis
Coppola.
Though Apocalypse Now is clearly a landmark film,
let me caution those who wish to see the film as a meara
of entertainment. For the most part, there are few comk
overtones in this film and the audience will find It difficult
to yield any passion to the characters as they did in
Coming Home or The Deer Hunter. If, however, you wish
to see one of the most ingenious American films ever
produced, then do see Apocalypse Now.

SOIL JUDGING AT
DEL VAL
Dr. Julian Prundeanu, Chairman of the Agronomy
Department, reports that the College hosted the 1979
Northeast Regional Soil judging contest recently. There
were seven universities and colleges represented including
Cornell, Maine, Maryland, Penn State, Rhode Island,
Rutgers and Delaware Valley College. A total of seventy-
four students participated in the contest.
The Delaware Valley College Soil Judging team
finished ahead of all other teams with the exception of
Penn State. Five of its members placed among the ten
highest scoring individuals.
The DVC team was coached by Dr. William Palkovics,
Assistant Professor of Agronomy who was assisted by
Larry Hepner, Instructor in Agronomy.
By placing second, Delaware Valley will be one of the
two teams which will represent the Northeastern Region
to the National Soil Judging Contest to be held in April,
1980, at Pennsylvania State University.
GIANT RAT SIGHTED
By Jean Weisbecker
Homecoming, 8 A.M. Saturday, October 27th, reports
began pouring in about a giant rat in Doylestown. Upon
investigation it was discovered that the "giant rat" was
actually the prize-winning Spirit Car of the new Labor-
atory Animal Science Club. With the aid of practical
projects, guest speakers and educational trips this organ-
ization hopes to spark interest and increase knowledge in
the field of Laboratory Animal Science and related aspects
of the small animal business. In addition to the regular
club meetings, usually on the second and fourth Tuesdays
of each month at 4:15 in Ag 103, transportation is
provided for members who wish to attend DVB AALAS
(Delaware Valley Branch American Association for
Laboratory Animal Science) meetings which are usually
held on the second Wednesda,y of each month. At these
meetings members have an opportunity to meet influen-
tial people already established in the field.
Any student of DVC who is interested in Laboratory
Animal Science is encouraged to join. Signs will be posted
before each meeting.

DID YOU VOTE?
By Susie Stitzer
Many persons say that, "It is a waste of time to vote
since one politician is as bad as another, why bother?" It
is pretty easy to see why they feel that way, in view of
the many stories we hear or read of, where elected
officials use the power of their position for their own
advantage. Certainly, dishonesty does happen; but let us
stop and think a minute. Is it not true that when crooked-
ness is exposed, the politician is removed and punished?
Perhaps the punishment does not seem severe enough,
especially when we think of Nixon and his associates who
in general went free. They are now making a fortune
selling their books!
Actually, however, if we give the matter some thought,
we will realize that a sense of outrage and moral indigna-
tion is alive in our society. Indeed, we now expect, even
demand, a high standard of honesty from our elected
officials. The public is aroused and watchful of wrong-
doing. The press has been especially active since Watergate
in checking on and publishing what our elected officials
are doing. Furthermore, recent laws have forced disclosure
of personal holdings and interests so that we can better
check on the motivation for various proposals of our
elected officials. In actual fact, a greater climate of public
responsibility now exists than perhaps even before. For
these reasons, I hope you voted on election day. If you
stayed home and did not vote, you can only bUme
yourself for what may come in the future.
MARIONETTE THEATRE
FEATURED
David Syrotiak's National Marionette Theatre will be
held at the College on Wednesday, November 14, 1979,
beginning at 8:00 P.M. The program will be held in
Mandell Hall Auditorium and admission is $2.00.
The National Marionette Theatre is best known for its
productions which are especially created for adult
audiences. (Not recommended for children under twelve
years of age.)
Puppetry is a synthesis of the arts; sculpture, design,
music, mime, dance and theatre, and the puppet itself . . .
it is at once an Everyman with no limitations ... It is the
crystallization of the imagination and magic of the
puppeteer.
David Syrotiak's exquisitely carved marionettes travel
over 45,000 miles and perform more than 200 times each
season.

AGGIES FIRST WINNING
SEASON IN SIX YEARS
By Paul Stanziale
November 3, 1979, was a happy day for Coach Al
Wilson and the Delaware Valley Aggies as they mounted
their fifth win this year coming from a 14-0 deficit to
beat Albright College 16-14. The victory rewarded the
Aggies with their first winning season in six years. In
addition, four records were set this year by two individual
players. Senior Bill Mullen broke the record for most
touchdowns and points in one season with 10 and 60,
respectively. Freshman Gary Myers kicked a record five
successful field goals with one of 41 yards being the
longest in Aggie history this year.
Also doing a superb job this year was the Aggie
defense. Interceptions and fumble recoveries were the key
to some Aggie victories. They only allowed a stingy twelve
points per game average. That is an excellent statistic
when one considers that the defense was on the field most
of the time and survived with a minimal amount of rest.
Yes, this season's success must be credited to a vastly
improved defense.
With a little offense next year, Del Val can be a
contender in the MAC playoffs.
Congratulations on a good year, Aggies!

FIELD HOCKEY TEAM
EVENS RECORD
The women's field hockey team of Delaware Valley
College ended their season on a winning note by defeating
Drew University 6-0, on Monday, October 29, in Doyles-
town, PA. The win boosted the Aggie record to 5-5, their
best record since hockey received varsity status six years
ago!
Outsunding for the Lady Aggies In their finale was the
entire forward line and right halfback Linda Treese.
Treese receWed the "outsUnding player award" for her
defensive consistency. She also scored two goals. One
goal was off a penalty suoke; the second followed
minutes later when she intercepted a Drew pass and drove
the ball from the edge of the striking circle.
Sue Ann Leed Ullied two goals also, while Breand
Wolfe and Donna Cassano rounded out the scoring by
tallying one each.
Seasonal sutistics show the Lady Aggies outshot their
opponents 271-121, and they outscored their opponents
26-91 Leading the Lady Aggies offensively was Brenda
Wolfe, Perkasie, PA. Wolfe averaged 6 shots per game and
scored 7 goals. Sue Ann Leed, a Cocalico High School
graduate, scored 5 goals on the season as did teammate
Karen Rogers, Norristown, PA.
Defensively the Lady Aggies were led by the consistent
play of Bernie Romano, center halfback from Bristol, PA.
Gail Fulcoly, a senior from Central Bucks West, also aided
the defensive unit. Freshman Linda Treese, Abington, PA
was the most improved player (MtP) overall. The Aggies
will be looking for leadership from Treese in the future.
The Lady Aggies open their 1980 season at Muhlen-
berg College, Allentown, PA on September 26!!
CRABS TAKE
INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL
CHAMPIONSHIP
The regular intramural football season ended in a
three-way tie for first place. Finishing with identical 8-1
records were Crabs, State Penn and High Flyers.
Rounding out the playoff entrees were EMO, 6-3;
Lancers, 5-4, 86'ers, 3-7.
The road to the finals found State Penn defeating the
86'ers, only to lose to the Crabs who became one of the
finalists. EMO had to defeat the Lancers and the High
Flyers to gain a shot at the title game. EMO made a
Cinderella-type try to win the DVC Intramural Football
Championship game played November 6th. EMO battled
the Crabs in a game which settled down to a defensive
battle during the second half. With the score 1 2-7, in favor
of EMO, the Crabs turned a blocked punt into a touch-
down and held on for a 14-12 victory. The game, played
before a large crowd on the intramural field, was a fitting
end to a season which saw many good contests played by
the students and who reached briefly for that piece of
({lory.
Congratulations to the Crabs and EMO for a fine game
and also to Mr. Wolfgand for a well-organized intramural
football season.

PENNSYLVANIA
SECRETARY OF
AGRICULTURE
SPEAKS AT DEL VAL
by Martha Gehringer
Penrose Hallowell, Pennsylvania Secretary of Agricul-
ture, spoke to the students of Delaware Valley College on
November 5, 1979. Prior to his speech, Mr. Hallowell met
with the officers of the Dairy Society who sponsored his
visit here.
Mr. Hallowell, who owns a farm ten miles north of
DVC, spoke on the future of agriculture. He divided the
future into four areas he felt agriculture would be most
concerned with. After his speech, Mr. Hallowell had a
question and answer period. A large group turned out to
listen to Mr. Hallowell.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE INFIRMARY
INFORMER
THE COMMON COLD: A FEW FACTS
• It comes in three waves a year - September as
school begins, mid-winter, and in spring.
• More colds begin on Monday than any other day.
• It is the most prevalent infectious disease among
people of all ages.
• Antibiotics have no effect on the cold. A cold is
caused by a virus. Antibiotics affect bacteria.
The common cold is caused by a virus invading the
upper respiratory passages. There are more than 100
viruses that can cause the cold. This great number of
viruses makes it impossible to develop a vaccine effective
against them all. The rhinovirus is by far the major cause
of colds.
The belief that the cold is caused by being overheated,
being in a draft, getting wet feet, or feeling "run-down" is
very popular but not well founded in fact. The strongest
evidence shows that the cold is caught from another
person either directly or indirectly.
Sneezes or coughs from cold sufferers fill the air with
cold viruses. These viruses find their way to other unsus-
pecting victims. Also, a cold virus can literally be picked
up "by hand." As an infected person covers his sneeze or
blows his nose with a tissue, he transfers the invisible
rhinovirus to his hand. He may next transfer the virus to
the hand of a healthy recipient. Or, he may transfer the
virus to intermediary surfaces, such as a light switch, a
water tap, or a dollar bill. An uninfected person touches
these surfaces and picks up the lively viruses and unknow-
ingly transfers the viruses by hand toward his face and
susceptible nose and throat membranes.
The incubation period is only 18 to 48 hours. Symp-
toms include dry scratchy throat, stuffy nose, and head-
aches. The viruses literally take over and alter the nature
of the cell. Other symptoms include watery eyes, lowered
temperature, aches, pains and overall lethargy.
The standard prescription is still aspirin, fluids and
rest. Aspirin, in any form, lowers fever and lessens general
aches and pains. Fluids serve to bring up accumulated
lung secretions, to insure the body gets its necessary fluid
intake, and to replace sweat loss due to fever. Rest is the
logical response to the fatigue and weakness which accom-
pany the infection.
Some studies show Vitamin C may be beneficial in
reducing the severity of colds, but the FDA says substan-
tive proof does not exist. High doses of Vitamin C can
contribute to kidney stones, severe diarrhea and miscalcu-
lations in diabetes testing.
Beware of the uncommon cold: temperature above
100 F, undue level of malaise, loss of appetite, tachy-
cardia (abnormally fast heart beat), excessive length of
cold, chest pain, or earaches.
See the Nurse or Doctor
RED CROSS BLOODMOBILE
It's that time of year again. The Red Cross Blood-
mobile will be on campus asking for your blood. Our goal
is 200 plus pints. Your support (and blood) is needed to
continue the great success here on Del Val's campus. If
you will be participating in a winter sport and cannot
contribute (It is suggested you don't) during your com-
petitive season, mark April 2, 1980, on your calendar for
CAMPUS GLIMPSES
RETURN
by Tom Umrath
Hallowe'en night was more like a botany eve for him
this year; at least it was until about midnight. Faced with
pages of megasporophytes and parenchyma, he knew that
this night would be devoted to sex in the plant world.
Hallowe'en, after all, was for grimy egg-throwing brats
and nostalgic overgrown kids. As the evening wore on,
though, exotic sounds meandered in and out of his
swimming mind. He soon came to the conclusion that on
this night only a male piece of seaweed could be excited
by the material before him.
Then, as by some unseen force, he was lifted from his
desk and pushed toward and out of the door. He could
not believe what was before him - masses of grown
people standing In line for a so-called haunted hall! His
sense of maturity was offended. Stones tickets one stood
in line for. Gas one stood in line for; but this? "I must be
in a dream world," he thought. Perhaps he was, for the
student could feel invisible icy fingers drawing his unwill-
ing body forward. His mind wandered until he passed
through the heavy wooden doors of the dark hall, and
then horror and unreality befell him.
With a group of fellow victims, he stumbled into a
cemetery p>ervaded with the moaning of tortured spirits
crying in endless agony. He tripped momentarily in a pile
of deep, rustling leaves and found himself facing several
gray, ominous tombstones. He dared to look at the worn
engravings. Stan Sitarski! The man who had once person-
ally confiscated his party paraphernalia on a lively Friday
night before finals. Vel's Vandals! The organization which
had sent his team to the cellar of the intramural floor
hockey league. Perhaps this haunted hall wasn't so bad
after all.
So he thought, until clammy flesh reached up from
the earth and grasped his legs, pleading him to become the
permanent gravemate of some dripping corpse. He broke
free and was whisked past the forbidding image of satan,
past a brutal execution by guillotine, and down an inky,
ghoul-infested corridor.
He thought hiv situation could only improve as he
bounced and floated upward (the only direction of
interest to a person in his situation) but the pearly gates
never arrived. Instead he was forced to crawl through a
moving sea of screaming, bleeding corpses.
The head of a cow suddenly sat rotting at his side, and
for a moment he thought he had escaped to the cafeteria.
Again he was wrong. A sadistic ogre appeared, laughing
brutally as he flogged his shrieking, ragged prisoner. It
seemed these chambers of hell would never end.
He was then forced onward through a cramped tunnel,
only to be confronted by a flock of ghouls who were
joyfully preparing for a live human dissection. Panic
overtook him. He had to escape. How ironic — he thought
— a college student desperate for a dose of reality. It was
not to come yet. A sword-yielding Samuri chased him
even farther, straight into the clutches of a wheezing
fiend named Igor who was most anxious to find a play-
mate for his writhing boa constrictor. After slipping by
Igor, he immersed himself in a wall of wet, electrically
shocked sheets, and then he finally emerged into open air
and safety. Hallowe'en was over, and not a moment too
soon.

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
To: The Editor
On Monday, November 5, the Dairy Society hosted
Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Penrose Hallowell
at an open meeting held in Mandell Auditorium. Those of
you who were not able to attend missed a rare oppor-
tunity to exchange ideas about agriculture and its future
in Pennsylvania with the man most directly responsible
for shaping that future. Following brief remarks highlight-
ing some of the major agricultural issues facing the
industry. Secretary Hallowell opened the meeting to a
question-and-answer forum in which the members of the
audience were invited to share their ideas with him.
The purpose of my writing is this: I was tremendously
impressed with the breadth and depth of the grasp of
agriculture displayed by the students who participated in
the exchange with the Secretary. (I believe he was likewise
impressed!) The students, most of them animal science
majors, showed that they are extremely cognizant of the
future of agriculture in this area and demonstrated that
they are thinking about solutions to the problems in-
volved. To some extent that must reflect favorably on the
relevance of our animal science programs. Even more to
the point, it must reflect on the students themselves -
their sense of purpose and the maturity with which they
are preparing for their futures. To all of those who
participated I offer sincere salutations for a job well done!

SPORTS
IMPROVEMENT MARKS
FALL SPORTS
With the close of the fall sports season, the teams at
Delaware Valley College have shown marked Improve-
ment. Leading the way was football under fourth-year
head coach Al Wilson. The football Awies posted a 5-4
record to give the school its best record m six years. Last
season the Aggies were close in a lot of games but ended
with a 1-8 record. This year their experience paid off.
Coach Wilson had mixed emotions with the loss of
fourteen seniors who paid their dues to the development
of the program but expectation from the crop of under-
classmen who gained valuable experience this past year.
Another sport which has taken great strides is soccer.
Second-year head coach Joe Soder turned a 1-9-1 team
around to post a 6-7 record, the best in the school's short
history in soccer. Coach Soder feels confident that with
his returning lettermen next year can be even better.
The cross country team under head coach Bob
Berthold turned in an 8-5 record and an eleventh place in
the MAC Championship meet. Last year the Harriers
posted a 7-8 record and the same eleventh place finish.
In the women's department, the field hockey team
under Coach Peggy Vellner posted a .500 season with a
5-5 overall record and 2-2 in the MAC. Although the
Lady Aggies did not make the playoffs, their record was
better and shows improvement. The only other sport was
women's volleyball. The team, in its first year of existence
under Coach Diane Swartz, posted a 0-10 record. Like the
other sports, the volleyball team needs some experience
to become competitive. A crop of returning players and
the experience of one year of varsity competition fore-
shadows improvement for next year.
A busy winter schedule started with the Aggies parti-
cipation in the Metro Wrestling Tournament held on
November 17th. Basketball sUrts its 24-game schedule by
hosting Swarthmore's J.V. and Varsity on Tuesday,
November 27th. The Ladies edition opens its basketball
season hosting Western Maryland on Thursday, December
6th.
WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
The Delaware Valley College women's volleyball team
fell upon some difficult times as they wrapped up. their
first varsity season 0-1 0.
Coach Oiane Swartz praised the performances of Holly
Funk, a junior, as the most consistent player overall. In
four of the ten games. Funk recorded a one hundred
percent serving efficiency, and, for the season had 24 ace
spikes, the second highest on the team.
Barbara Gregory, a senior, led the team in spikes with
29. Karen Smith finished third in the spiking category
with 16.
The Lady Aggies are a young team and will be looking
to Funk for future leadership. Also, sophomores Susan
Capon and Gail Garthwaite added defensive consistency
for the Aggies.
AGGIE BASKETBALL OUTLOOK
■
BLOOD BVVMK \^ \
"If we can pick up where we left off last year we
should be improved." That's the statement from second-
year head coach, Les Lombard!. Last year the Aggie
Cagers posted an 11-14 record, the most wins in eight
years and a second half winning spree. Lombard! hinges
his hopes this season on six returning lettermen.
Leading the lettermen in 1979-80 will be senior
co-captain Kenny Mitchell. The 6'3" swingman, an All
E.C.A.C. and 1,000 Point Club Member, averaged 17.9
points per game with a 59% field goal accuracy and was
the team's leading rebounder. The other co-captain is 6'4"
senior Mark Werkiser. Last season Mark played both guard
and forward, averaged 9.5 points per game and was the
team's fourth leading rebounder. Mark, currently nursing
an injury, adds both size and ball handling to the starting
lineup.
The Aggies will have an abundance of guards. Sopho-
more Mark Tymes, a freshman starter and letter winner
last year, will direct the offense from the point guard
position. Mark averaged 5 points per game but also gave
out 97 assists. Newcomer Dale Lawrence, an outside
scoring threat, will back up Mark at the point. Tom
Robinson is another 6'3" swingman who averaged 4.5
points per game. A letterwinner, Tom earned respect for
his improved defense and outside shooting ability. Added
to the crop of guards is 6'2" freshman Don Rogge.
The big problem this year for the Aggies will be re-
bounding. Lombard! has conceded that he has no center
and will use basically two forwards and three guards. Last
year's Most Improved Player, 6'3" junior Tom Kehoe,
who averaged 1 1.8 points per game and 3.7 rebounds will
be a main figure in the battle of the boards. Another
junior letterman, Bill Walter, a 6'5'' forward, adds his 1 2.3
points per game and 8.4 rebounds per game to the small
front line. Senior Bill Stanley, a 6'4" leaper, should add
rebounding and a defensive dimension. Up from last
year's junior varsity, junior Lyn Matthews can add some
muscle for the boardmen. The only other freshman on
the eleven-man squad, Gerry Lutz, is a 6'5" rel)ounder
and scorer.
Lombard! contends that the Aggies will have to hustle
and improve on defense to break into a winning season.
Last year the Aggies averaged over 80 points per game and
they were rnvolved in a lot of close games. "Our goal for
the first year was to be competitive and I feel we achieved
that." noted the coach. "If we can pick up where wc left
off last year we should be improved."

THE IRANIAN CRISIS
IRANIAN CONFLICT UNVEILS U^. PATRIOTISM^
The recent events in the country of Iran have shocked and
infuriated many Americans. The takeover of the United
States Embassy by Iranian students is a deplorable act of
terrorism. Now these same self-styled revolutionaries have
decided to try some 50 or more Americans for spying. This
situation has lead to a number of protests and even rioting.
just how did something like this happen in the first place?
it all started with the revolution against Iran's Monarch, the
Shah. This revolution has brought to power the Ayatollah
KhomeJTtl - a fanatical Muslim leader. This was not what
lead directly to the takeover of the U.S. Embassy, however.
The Iranian students took our Embassy because the Shah
was allowed into the U.S. for medical treatment of his
advanced cancer. The students now want him back in Iran
for trial and they refuse to release the innocent Americans
until we give up the Shah.
The easiest solution to this problem would be to give in
to these demands. This, however, would not be the right
thing to do! We, the United States, should never and can
never give in to terrorism of this kind or any kind. To give
in to this group of fanatical students would have catastrophic
effects on U.S. foreign policy. To give in to a group of
radicals such as the Iranian students would be a dishonor
to America and all her citizens. No American would be safe
outside of our own borders.
Therefore, the Shah must stay in this country until his
medical problems are solved and we must not back down.
The President must make it clear to Khomeini that we will
never bargain one man's life for another's.
by Tom Umrath
Despite the gloom and frustration associated with the situation in Iran, there is an overshadowed and overlooked bright
side to the conflict. Hidden by all the outrage and rhetoric is the fact that through a common goal, the citizens of the United
States seem to be pulling together with new-found patriotism. The political kick in the face executed by the Ayatollah
Khomeini and his fanatical regime, combined with the weak response by the Carter administration, have forced out dormant
feelings of pride and confidence in America. The people of the U.S. are now unified with a sense of common purpose -
making their country respectable again on the world scene. The people are tired of taking abuse from insignificant nations,
many of whom their tax dollars help to support. It is quite obvious what the citizens of America want - the respect their
nation deserves. Americans are becoming unified, and are looking for the government to handle Iran in a manner that will
bring the U.S. pride and dignity. Hopefully this spirit will continue.
ARTIST JOANNA
KRASNANSKY FEATURED
IN LIBRARY EXHIBIT
An art exhibit of recent watercolors by Joanna
Krasnansky is being held in the Library until December 18th,
1979.
The theme of the exhibit will be Bucks County in Review.
Cognizant of the unique flavor offered by Bucks County,
Joanna's subjects originate from our rich past — farmland
scenes, stone farmhouses, barns, meeting houses, mills and
the like. She instills realism in her watercolors, with texture
and color her primary concerns.
As a watercolorist, Joanna is basically self-taught. A
member of the Philadelphia Watercolor Club, Art Alliance
of Bucks County and the Levittown Artists Association,
her paintings are on display year round at the Yard's
Upstairs Gallery in Peddlers Village. She has exhibited in
New York at the National Academy's A.W.S. exhibit and at
the National Arts Club. She exhibits in Philadelphia's
Rittenhouse Square Art Annual where she won the Water-
color Award for 1979. An active exhibitor in Bucks County,
she exhibits at Phillips Mill, Yardley Art Association annuals,
the Arts Alliances exhibits, and many more. Bensalem
Township has purchased a number of her watercolors which
are on display in their township building, and 24 of her
drawings of historical buildings and items were printed in a
bicentennial book published by the Bensalem Historical
Society in 1976. She has her studio in Cornwells Heights.

TIME AFTER TIME"
Review by Steve Saphos Rating ****
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, David Warner and Mary
Steenburgen
Directed by: Nicholas Meyer PG
"Imagine, a scientific genius named H.G. Wells pursuing
a criminal mastermind named Jack the Ripper through time
itself."
This is the slogan of Nicholas Meyer's film. Time After
Time, one of the most amusing and entertaining films of the
year. Time After Time serves as the directorial debut for
Nicholas Meyer, whose only previous film credit is the
screenplay for Herbert Ross' 1977 film. The Severt Percent
Solution, a film that features Sherlock Holmes and Dr.
Watson matching wits with a cocaine addicted Sigmund
Freud.
The film's premise begins with Jack the Ripper, fresh
from another brutal killing, escaping the police through the
use of H.G. Wells' latest invention, a time machine. Wells,
upon hearing of Jack the Ripper's method of escape,
immediately sets out after him via the time machine. Thus,
a nineteenth century scientist and psychotic killer find
themselves in pursuit of one another in twentieth century
modern-day San Francisco, California.
Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) and David
Warner (The Omen) handle their portrayal of H.G. Wells and
Jack the Ripper, respectively, quite well. Mary Steenburgen's
(Coin' South) performance as a confused native Californian
who gets mixed in with the pursuit, ties the film together
superbly.
To sum it all up, Time After Time is a lot of fun. It is
one of the few films released lately that successfully
combines the elements of suspense, comedy, and romance
toother in one package. Therefore, it is this reviewer's
suggestion that you try to find the time to see Time After
Time.
THE MAGIC OF THE
BEATLES"
Delaware Valley College will present original members
of the smash Broadway hit Beatlemania, live and in concert
on Saturday, December 8th, 1979, beginning at 8:00 P.M.
This national touring group will bring to the stage :he
sounds and sights of John, Paul, George and Ringo in The
Magic of the Beatles.
The performance will be held In the James Work
Gymnasium. The presentation will include slides of the 60's,
posters, lighting and live stage performances of the early
Beatles sounds as well as the Sgt. Pepper era.
This program will bring back memories to those who
grew up with the Beatles; and the recreation of the live
energy that the Beatles had will serve as a true experience
for those too young to remember the Beatles.
THE AFTERMATH
HOMECOMING -
A CLEAN SWEEP !
by Richard Ziemer
Thanks, students, faculty, and whoever else you are
who helped pick up the pieces after Homecoming. It has
been noted that Homecoming cleanup normally takes three
days, but this year not even one day was needed to de-debris
the campus.
FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
AN OPINIOtj
To: The Editor
I am a concerned citizen and I believe that the recent
installation of the two stop signs on Alumni Lane will not
be enough to halt the large number of accidents which
occur in this area. Throughout this year and last year the
number of deaths and injuries which have taken place at
this major intersection are overwhelming. After all, the
cars which come out of the doors of the famous James Work
Gymnasium are uncountable.
This situation must be rectified and I believe that a
traffic light and large speed bumps should be installed at
this major intersection to remedy the situation. The speed
bumps could even be constructed by landscape design
students. A full-time traffic cop (preferably a member of
the Dream Police) would also prove effective in this loca-
tion.

WOMEN HOOPERS OPEN
SEASON!
by Peggy Vellner
The women "cagers," who have been practicing since
Hallowe'en night, open their 1979-80 campaign on Thursday,
December 6th at 7:00 P.M. They will host the "Terrors" of
Western Maryland.
Leading the Lady Hoopers will be senior co-captains
)oyce Newswanger and Donna Kaledinskas. Newswanger is
presently the second leading scorer in the school's history
and needs only 153 total points to surpass the school record
of 479 held by Janice Kirk, a 1978 graduate. Newswanger, a
native of Pine Grove, Pa., is the quarterback for the Lady
Aggies.
Kaledinskas will be the starting center for the Aggies. Her
major contribution to the team has been that of rebounding
and defense. Donna averages 7.2 points per game and has
scored a career total of 145 points.
The other three starters are Brenda Wolfe, Patti Rissinger,
and Marcia Werner. Wolfe led the team in scoring last year
with 177 points. She is the third leading scorer in Aggie
history. Rissinger, a ulented sophomore from Sacramento,
Pennsylvania, contributed 134 to the Aggie cause a year ago.
Coach Vellner Js counting on Rissinger to score more for the
Aggies this season, and she hopes Rissinger's one year
experience will take some pressure off Newswanger. Werner,
a freshman standout from Reading, Pennsylvania, has earned
the other starting spot as a guard.
Aggie reserves include letter winners: Diane Windholz,
Donna Cassano, and Mary Ann Horst. Transfer Diane Bradley
will be joining the force in January to round out the Aggie
team. ,
The Lady Aggies are a hard-working, dedicated group of
women who deserve your support. This year's team has the
most talent an Aggie Hoop team has ever had. They will be
very competitive in the league, and they look to you, the
student body, for support.
The team cordially invites you to all home games, and
they hope to see you at the home opener December 6th!
SIX PLAYERS MAKE
FOOTBALL M.A.C. TEAM -
BILL MULLEN MAKES
FIRST TEAM
Senior Bill Mullen, who culminated an exciting college
career by breaking two school records in his last game, was
named to the 1979 Northern Division All-Star Squad in the
Middle Atlantic Conference. Bill set the school record at ten
for touchdowns in one season and 60 points, the most in one
season. Because of an injury in his freshman year which kept
him out for the entire season, Bill fell short of the school's
rushing record. He carried 147 times this year for 481 net
yards and 3.3 yards per carry average.
joining Bill on the All-Star Offensive Team as Honorable
Mention were juniors Phil Boob and Gary Walters. Phil, a
tight end, had 7 receptions for 190 yards but, most import-
antly, two touchdowns. Gary, an offensive, was a statisti-
cal leader on the offensive line and will return next year.
Defensively, the Aggies placed three players on the
Honorable Mention Defensive Unit - Senior Co-Captain
Bruce Shickora, one of Coach Wilson's first recruits who led
the defensive sutistical battle from the defensive end for the
last two seasons. Another defensive lineman, junior Chuck
Alpuche, made Honorable Mention at the defensive Uckle
position. In the defensive secondary, senior Keith Sipple, who
had six interceptions and 107 yards, scored one touchdown
and set up two other scores.
Mullen and his five teammates were instrumental in
leading the Aggies to a 5-4 season. The fact that three will be
returning next season makes things look good for Coach
Al Wilson and his Aggies..

NATIONAL MARIONETTE
THEATRE VISITS DVC
by Martha Gehringer
On Wednesday, November 14, 1979, David Syrotjak and
his National Marionette Theater visited Delaware Valley
College. Mr. Syrotiak is the founder of the National
Marionette Theater. He performs a one-man show that runs
approximately two hours. He does from 150-200 shows a
year. The Theater is run from a totally portable setup. This
enables him to go anywhere with no problems. When he
travels about he has no tour route.
Mr, Syrotiak has been working with marionettes for about
27 years. He has traveled all around Europe, South America,
Canada, and the United States. He first became interested
in working with marionettes when he saw a show in elemen-
tary school. However, his marionette shows are specifically
created for adults. Most people are unaware of this, but the
people who attended his performance discovered this and
were pleased by it. Although only a small crowd turned out
for his performance, he was warmly received by them.

WAPO: ON THE MOVE!!!
Delaware Valley Campus Radio Station has been improv-
ing and progressing at a tremendous pace this year. Station
Manager David Geyer is pleased with the performance of his
members and the work that is being done. The station now
consists of 24 D.J.'s, eight of whom were members last
year, and the other 16 were recruited during the freshman
club orientation night.
During the first meeting of the semester the new recruits
were trained by the D.J.'s from the previous year. They
have been working well with each other and have made the
radio station a success. Freshmen Raychel Stein and Leslie
Scheffier began their membership by painting the walls in
the station. Technicians Bob Parambo ("Wolf") and Jim
Galley ("Sharky") have fully reconstructed the Berkowitz
transmitter and are responsible for the music in the David
Levin Dining Hall. Another member of the station, J.T.
von Dermurdy, has spent time writing to various record
companies requesting that the station receive promotional
records in order to increase the album selection. The Student
Government has also helped WAPO this semester by donating
two speakers and an equalizer. In addition to all these
things, the pool room on top of Segal Hall can now tune
into WAPO, and the station itself has new speakers in its
office.
The latest project of WAPO is their candy sale. This is
the second successful year that WAPO has sold candy. Once
the sale is over, Station Manager Dave Geyer, Music Director
Fred Del Angelo, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Aldo Stolte,
and Business Manager Steve Saphos will discuss what is in
store for WAPO in the upcoming weeks.
FOLK FESTIVAL
by Dominic Centanze
On Saturday, November 17th, Delaware Valley College
presented for the first time ever its concept of a Folk
Festival. The day was marked with a variety of craft booths
set up and fine folk music. Some of the crafts included
honey making, candle making, loom weaving, basket weaving
and oil painting. One table had a beautiful display of
porcelain ceramics that were for sale. The weightlifting
club sold hoagies. Honey was for sale from the Apiary
Society. Hillel had coffee and delicious caramel apples.
A variety of cheeses were also being sold there.
At 5:30 p.m. all the booths were Uken down. This
permitted the use of the floor for dancing. Many different
performers played the best folk music they knew, while
the spectators clapped to the beat. Overall, the festival went
over fairly well with both DVC students and outsiders
enjoying the performance.

The crowd of 2,000 enjoyed the magic of the early
Beatles as well as the Sgt. Pepper Era.
by Martha Gehrlnger
The Magic of the Beatles came to DVC on December 8th,
and on December 8th DVC came alive.
It all started at 10:30 a.m. as members of the concert
committee and other members of the student government
began to set things up. This concert was the climax of two
months of careful planning.
Beatle Magic performed 8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. with
two encores. The show, highlighted by sound and light
effects, was everything student government promised and
more. This is the first profitable concert put on by any
student government at Delaware Valley College. Approxi-
mately 2,000 people (600 student and 1,400 general admis-
sion) turned out for the performance. Everyone in student
government who had any part in this should t>e commended
on a job well done.

IN REMEMBRANCE
It is with profound sorrow and deep personal loss
that I must advise you of the passing of Dr. Bertram W.
Korn , on Tuesday , Dece mber 11,1979.
Dr. Korn was an extraordinary man. He was a distin-
guished Rabbi, scholar, historian, author and great
American. He was retired last year with high |«onors
from the United States Navy, Chaplain Corps with the
rank of Rear Admiral. He was the first person of the
Jewish faith to attain such an honor.
Dr. Korn, Senior Rabbi of the Reform Congregation
Keneseth Israel, has served the College with distinction
and enthusiasm for over 30 years as a member of our
Board of Trustees. He has inspired thousands of people
with his writings, sermons and speeches.
Dr. Korn was one of the greatest orators of our times.
His beautiful voice, clear presentations and pronounce-
ments and most meaningful thoughts and ideas will
always be remembered by all who were fortunate
enough to hear him speak privately, publicly or on
radio or television.
The College, the community, and the entire nation
suffered a great loss. We at the College have lost a great
friend. Dr. Bertram W. Korn will always be remembered
for his outstanding accomplishments, humanitarian
efforts, his dedication to equal rights, assistance to the
elderly, indigent and handicapped and for his genuine
love for his fellowman.

THE ONION FIELD"
Rating ***'/2 Review by Steve Saphos
Former police officer-turned-novelist Joseph Wambaugh,
in an effort toavenge the Hollywood moguls who disastrously
produced his first two works, The New Centurions and The
Choir Boys, decided to use his screenplay based on fact film
of The Onion Field as his producing debut. The film is based
on former Los Angeles Police Officer Kurt Hettinger's actual
account of what really happened that night in March of
1963 when he and his fellow officer were taken hostage
(remember the "Little Lindberg Law?") by two gunmen to
an abandoned onion field where one of the gunnrwn (or was
it both??) brutally murdered Hettinger's partner and un-
leashed one of the most outrageous court cases in California
history.
The Onion Field, which Is being hailed by many as one of
the year's top ten, is at very least, one of the year's most
suspensefully intense films. The intensity of the sequences
leading up to and including the onion field murder contain
some of the most dramatic moments on film. John Savage
(The Deer Hunter, Hair) turns in another of his growing
consistency of fine performances of Officer Kurt Hettinger,
who with the aftermath of his partner's murder, suffers
through a severe mental breakdown. The sleeper per-
formances of the year are witnessed in this film with the
newcomers Jamie Woods and Franklin Seayls thoroughly
convincing portrayals of the reluctant murderers.
The Onion Field is not just a series of intense sequences.
It is a film that attempts (and succeeds) to make a strong
statement concerning our present justice system. Even
though the level of momentum of The Onion Field tends to
decrease as the film goes on, it is still certainly worth the
trip.
BICYCLES
If you are the owner of a bicycle, I am sure you have
experienced great difficulty trying to get your bicycle out of
your residence hall so you can use it. Of course, there are
many different sizes and shapes; there is the Golden Cadillac
which probably cost over $100, or the Model-T which has
been your favorite bicycle since you were 1 3, and then there
is the Antique which you bought at a garage sale for $10.
Unfortunately, the poor bicycle for $10 is probably being
stored in the farthest corner of the building, surrounded by
25 other bicycles. This antique bicycle is also covered with
dust and has probably never had the opportunity to see the
outside world.
These antique bicycles, along with many others, are
causing a lot of problems for a lot of people; someone who
uses his "vehicle" quite often and can't get to it, house-
keeping cannot clean properly, and residents who can't even
get to the soda machine, not to mention Blue Ribbon who
will not even fill the soda machines if they can't get to them.
We would like all owners of these two-wheeled vehicles to
help eliminate this problem of overabundant bicycles which
are never used. We are very concerned with the safety of
individuals in the residence halls. Bicycles are blocking exit
areas. If it were necessary to exit the building in an emer-
gency situation, it would be very difficult because of bicycles.
We urge you to take your bicycle home for the winter
months. If you do not use your dusty bicycle frequently, we
would like you to take it home for the remainder of the
year. The perfect time to do this is when you leave for
Christmas vacation.
Thanks for your cooperation!

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
Dear Editor:
It did my heart good to finally see a vast majority of our
student body, along with our faculty, staff and the com-
munity, having a resounding great time at Beatle Magic.
Thanks to all those who attended, as you contributed to the
enthusiastic atmosphere as well as making it a financia!
success. Thanks also go to those who assisted us with the
many details and demands along the way.
However, my initial purpose of this letter is to congratu-
late as well as thank the members of Government and Mr.
Joe Marron who put in countless hours of their time to see
Beatle Magic through from beginning to end, and make It a
smashing hit. I don't think people realize how much tirre and
effort is concerned with running various activities, so <f you
get a chance tell them you liked the show — for ^at is the
thanks they want.
Anne, Chip, Craig, Fred, Keith, Jim, joe, Shorty, Tony,
Dom, Hank, Gail, Jeff, Karen, Mike, Russ and Mr. Marron —
you're all great!

MITCHELL-STANLEY
LEAD AGGIES TO
HOOP WIN
by R. W. McClelland
AGGIE
STARS
The lames Work Gymnasium was the scene of pande-
monium on the ni^t of December 4th as the Aggie Baslcet-
ball team pulled off an unbelievable come-from-behind
victory over Falrlei^ Dickinson, 65-62.
With less than five minutes remaining in this classic
contest, Fairleigh Dickinson had gained what seemed to be
an insurmountable nine-point lead. The Aggies, with the ball
handling of Mark Tymes, the pressure shooting of Ken
Mitchell and the concentration of Bill Stanley at the charity
line, managed to close the gap to one point with two minutes
remaining on the clock.
Then Fairleigh Dickinson went to a four corner stall and
Les Lombardi's Aggies went to a full court press that forced
several key turnovers.
Stanley had a timely blocked shot on a lay-up attempt
and Ken Mitcl^ll canned a long jumper, picked off an
inbound pass for a lay-up and four points in ten seconds.
Stanley added the winning points, making three of four
free throws to nail down the decision 65-62.
EXTRA POINTS: Les Lombardi has the Ag^es playing
an aggressive defense this year that the fans will really enjoy.
Early In the season it appears that the league is loaded
with talent and most games will go to the wire. It should be
noted that students can make the difference in home games.
During the closing minutes of the Fairleigh Dickinson
game several of their important free throws rolled around the
rim and didn't drop, thanks mainly to the enthusiastic home-
town crowd.

WOMEN OPEN HOOP
SEASON
The women "hoopers" of Delaware Valley College
opened and closed their December season in rapid fa^ion by
defeating Western Maryland 59-55 and falling to a strong
Ursinus Club 70-48. The games were played December 6 and
8, respectively.
Outstanding performers for the Lady Aggies in both
pmes were: Marcia Werner and Patti Rissinger. Werner, a
freshman from Mt. Penn High School, Reading, Pa., scored
18 and 14 points respectively. She also grabbed a total of 9
rebounds and shot 8 for 9 from the foul line. In her first
varsity contest, Werner replaced point guard, and co-captain
Joyce Newswanger, who sustained an ankle injury the night
before the home opener.
Rissinger, a sophomore from Tri Valley High School,
Hegins, Pa., contributed a combined total of 30 points in the
games - 18 and 12 respectively. Rissinger played with four
fouls in the Ursinus game and scored 9 of her 12 points in
the second half of play.
Ursinus, who runs the fast break to perfection, was never
slowed down by the Lady Aggies, but two reserves, Diane
Windholz and Sue Hartung, aided the Aggie defensive cause
with their aggressive rebounding. Between the two, they
nailed down 17 and scored IS points. Windholz is a local
player from Central Bucks East High School, Buckingham,
Pa., and Hartung played high school basketball at Belvidere,
New Jersey.
The women will not see action until January 17, 1980.
They will host Lycoming College at 7:00 p.m. Their record
to date is 1-1.
FIELD HOCXEY TEAM
HONORED
The women's field hockey team was honored, along with
cross country, soccer, and volleyball, at the Fall Sports
Banquet on Monday evening, November 26, 1979. The
banquet was held at the Moose Lodge in Doylestown.
Annette White, a junior from Perkasie, Pa., was awarded
the Outstanding Offensive Player Award. Although she
scored only three goals during the season, her leadership and
excellent stick work provided the Aggies with many offensive
opportunities throughout the year. Miss White was also
chosen to the first team All-Conference/Northern Division.
She is the first woman athlete to attain an award from the
Conference.
The Outstanding Defensive Player Award was won by
Bernie Romano, a native of Bristol, Pa. Romano is a first-year
letter winner. Her consistency and gamesmanship aided the
Aggie defense many times during the course of the season.
The Most Valuable Player Award, the hi^est award an
athlete can win, was won by Gail Fulcoly, a senior fullback
from Doylestown. Miss Fulcoly is a Business major and a
third-year letter winner.
Other players receiving letters included: Linda Budrewicz,
captain, Donna Cassano, Irene Costa, Mary Ann Horst, Janet
Kruchow, Sue Ann Leed, Carol Metzgar, Barb Meyer, Karen
Rogers, Linda Treese, Cathy Vitulla, and Brenda Wolfe. Miss
Wolfe was the leading scorer for the Aggies, tallying 7 goals.
She was selected to the second team All-Conference for the
1 979 season.
Other players who attended the banquet were: Joan
Gunselman, Liz Heintz, Lynn Scheich, and Liz Trimble.
The Lady Aggies are looking forward to their next season
as 9 of 1 1 starters will be returning. Their opening game is
scheduled for September 26, 1980, at Muhlenberg College,
Allentown, Pa.
ANOTHER WAPO
CONCERT EVENT!
by Bob Kimmey
The evening of Friday, November 30, 1979, began with
WAPO's own Dr. Quaalude (Steve Saphos) announcing the
new wave band Dr. Bonze and the Unknownze to Segal Hall's
plush basement club. From that point on there was rock and
roll. Rock and roll the likes of which Delaware Valley Colle^
has never before experienced. The band exploded with a
combination of original material and cover versions of other
artists' tunes. The four-man band is led by Dr. Bonze on
twelve string, John Lanzetta on bass, Mike Rauchut on
drums, and an extremely talented lead guitarist by the name
of John Bruning. The set opened with the good (joctor
passing out his favorite prescription, to the delight of the
fifty or so fans in attendance, many of them faithful
groupies of the popular band. The evening climaxed with
rousing versions of Van Morrison's Gloria and the Beatles
Back in the U.S.S.R. The post-concert party was held at a
remote farmhouse somewhere in Ottsville, Pa.
Opening for Dr. Bonze and the Unknownze was the
Street Players, who put on a fine display of folk music. The
vocals of Daya Devi were most excellent, and the crowd
responded well to their music. The Street Players will be in
concert at DVC on Saturday, December 15th, from 8 p.m.
until 1 1 p.m. in the dining hail. I urge you to go out and
listen to these fine musicians from DVC. The other members
of the group besides Daya, who plays tambourine and
acoustic guitar, are Chris Doolin on guitar and flutist Woody
Poles.
For those of you who would like to receive Dr. Bonze's
obscenity-laden newslf;tter which describes the rather unusual
lives of the musicians, and also gives information on their
upcoming concerts, you can send your requests to: Dr.
Bonze, P.O. Box 723, Lansdale, Pa. 1 9446. Also be sure to
look for the return of Dr. Bonze and the Unknownze to
DVC sometime next semester.

APO CAROLLING
On the evening of December 9th, members and friends of
Alpha Phi Omega went Christmas carolling at Garden Court
Nursing Home. The patients at the Home were happy and
grateful that someone cared, and the students enjoyed
meeting the interesting and amusing people. Everyone had a
good time and APO would like to thank all those who took
time out from their busy schedules to bring some joy to
others during this Holiday Season.

BOYCOTT OR NOT?
by Martha Gehringer
"Boycott" is a word that has been used by consumer
organizations to protest the high price of items. It made
headlines a few years ago, and once again this year it is in the
headlines. This year, however, it is not by some outraged
consumer over the price of something; rather this year it
concerns the Olympics.
America, under the direction of President Carter, has
decided that unless Russia pulls her troops out of Afgharvistan
in thirty days, we will boycott the Summer Olympic games to
be held in Moscow. Mr. Carter made this decision and
announced it on Sunday, January 20th. So far, no reaction
has come from Moscow.
The 1980 Summer Olympics were to be a crowning
achievement for Russia, a chance to show the glories of
communism. A U.S. boycott of the games could take away
from the grandeur and significance of it for the Russians since
the U.S. does have some of the best athletes in the world.
However, one of the main considerations must be the athletes
who have trained so long and hard for the Olympics. The
question of boycott should be addressed to the athletes who
will have a chance to compete. Now the U.S. Olympic Com-
mittee is starting to plan for something of a free world
Olympics. Will this special Olympics also be fair to the
athletes?
The Olympics have certainly changed from the ideal of
the best athletes coming together without political interven-
tion. The Communist countries support and train their
"amateur" athletes, and the government also directs what the
athletes will compete in. The U.S. athletes, however, are on
their own with help coming from the American public.
Many questions are involved in this issue. Some of these
questions are: What will happen if no other country boycotts
the Olympics? France has already stated that her athletes will
go regardless of what the U.S. does. Is this strong enough and
sufficient action to stop them? Even though Mr. Carter has
made this announcement, the Soviets have lifted still more
troops Into Afghanistan and continue to move toward
Pakistan and Iranian borders. It has also brought calls for the
Olympics to be moved to a permanent neutral site.
Perhaps we should allow our athletes to go - perhaps we
shouldn't — but something must be done to stop the spread
of Communism throughout the world. The U.S. has made a
firm stand, but will it be enough and will the Russians listen?
THIS WEEK ON HALL
STREET
by Rick Lewis
As the price of gold continued to skyrocket to new highs
this week, and the Cow-Bones Industrial Average showed
moderate gains, a little-known commodity took off like
wildfire and enjoyed insensate panic buying that made the
gold market look like a standstill. Literally millions of STOP
signs changed hands at increasingly higher prices throughout
the week with many newcomers entering this speculative
market. The reason for the sudden growth in activity is not
totally clear at this time, but it is reported that a small college
in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, purchased a large portion of the
market shortly before the insanity broke loose. Perhaps they
had inside information, but it is still the opinion of a few that
it is not wise to invest excessively in this new market right
now because of possible instability.
BRAD BEIDEL HONORED
This past weekend, Brad Beidel won the Pennsylvania
Holstein Association Distinguished Junior Member Contest,
senior division. He will be traveling to Pittsburgh, Pa., during
late February to accept his award and to enter the competi-
tion of the National Holstein Association, for which he is
now qualified. Brad, a sophomore from Carlisle, Pa., is major-
ing in Dairy Husbandry. Congratulations, Brad, and good luck
in the Nationals!

EVENTS FOR THIS
SEMESTER
by Dominic Centanze
If you are the type of individual who enjoys concerts,
then you may be in for a pleasant surprise this semester. The
return of the Grease Band will be on February 22nd. They
impressed many last year when they came. Harry Chapin may
be on his way in March. Social House is still working on
having him for that month. He will be the replacement for
Steve Forbert, who is going on a European tour and left us
with one date that he would be able to come here. Unfor-
tunately, the school has something scheduled for that date.
Does the name "Cowtown" ring a bell? You may see them
here on the A-Day weekend. The freshmen student govern-
ment is working very hard to have them here. Even though it
is traditional to have a dance band for A-Day, the freshman
class voted unanimously for a concert instead.
How does an outdoor concert sound? We may have one
this spring. An excellent rock group was recruited by jim
Trainer, Chip Cowher and myself at the Entertainers con-
vention. They are called the Todd Hobin Band. They write
their own songs. They will be a big hit at the College if we
get them.
Also scheduled in a couple of weeks are the dance mara-
thon and New Year's Eve dance.

Dear Editor:
I have received an official copy of the Opinion of the
Court of the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals in
the case of Bradshaw versus Delaware Valley College.
As you may recall, Donald Bradshaw was paralyzed as a
result of a very unfortunate automobile accident on April 3,
1975, in Doylestown, Pa. The three Judges of the United
States Third Circuit Court of Appeals in a unanimous opinion
overturned the judgment against the College. This particular
case received national attention and considerable publicity.
I personally called the unfortunate accident and the entire
matter to the attention of the Pennsylvania Association of
Colleges and Universities, known as PACU. This active and
prominent association is composed of all the Presidents of
the various colleges and universities in Pennsylvania. The
PACU voted unanimously to enter an Amicus Curiae brief in
support of our College. The very prestigious and highly
influential American Council on Education (ACE) joined the
PACU in the Amicus Curiae brief. The American Council on
Education, which has its headquarters in Washington, D.C.,
represents most of the thousands of colleges and universities
throughout the United States.
It is evident that the wholehearted and practical support
which was provided by the Pennsylvania Association of
Colleges and Universities and by the American Council on
Education and the a/guments of the Attorneys who repre-
sented the College, helped to convince the Judges to render a
decision in favor of the College.
It is wonderful to begin the decade of the eighties on such
a positive note.
Joshua Feldstein
Dear Editor:
How safe in the James Work Gym?
During the entry to the recent Beatle Magic concert, a
rather disturbing incident occurred as the result of a verbal
communication problem and the inherent warm-up period
required for the mercury vapor lamps which illuminate the
James Work Gym. A member of the Beatle Magic cast re-
quested at the end of the pre-concert warm-up jam that the
lights be turned out and the audience be allowed to enter.
Unfortunately, someone followed his instructions before
realizing that nobody could see the seats without the lights.
It is believed that the Beatle Magic person was referring to the
stage lights be turned off, but now is not the time to try to
interpret his instructions because it no longer makes any
difference. The lights in the gym had been turned off, the
audience had already begun to file in, and there was no way
to rapidly illuminate the gymnasium. Fortunately, through
some stroke of luck, nobody was injured during the several
minutes of darkness while the record-sized concert crowd
entered, but not without many complaints from people,
including Dr. Feldstein.
When the lights finally warmed up to brightness, I looked
around the gym, and to my amazement, I saw no emergency
light sources. This means that if a power failure were to occur
during an activity being held in the gym, there could poten-
tially be a panic exodus with people being injured. In order
for the College to reduce the potential of another liability
lawsuit as well as to provide a common safety courtesy to its
patrons to activities held in the gym, it is strongly recom-
mended that something be provided in the way of rapid
emergency illumination for the James Work Gym.

BASKETBALL SUMMARY
by R. W. McClelland
The Aggies completed their semester break with a 2-3
record, defeating Moravian 73-72 and Muhlenberg 82-70.
Their losses came in the finals of the Muhlenberg holiday
tournament against the host "Mules" 101-91; at Albright
97-82; and again on the road against Spring Garden 96-88.
During a five-game home stand the Aggies lost to Susque-
hanna 96-78 and rebounded with back-to-back victories over
luniata 55-54 and Moravian again 66-63. Mark Werkiser was
fouled with one second remaining in the game and completed
the free throw for the victory over juniau. Two freshmen,
Don Rogge and Gerry Lutz, helped the Aggies battle back
against Moravian and Werkiser (20 points) and Tom Kehoe
(16 points) vwre the big point men.
Scranton University came into town and played like a
Division II team, defeating a hustling Aggie five 105-83. Two
time all-American Erving Johnson played an outstanding
game for Scranton. Wilkes visited the James Work Gym-
nasium over the weekend and left with a 87-81 victory. Mark
Werkiser scored a career high 33 points for the Aggies.
Monday night the team traveled to Kutztown and stayed
with the Golden Bears only to lose 76-63. Tom Kehoe had 20
points for the Aggies.
Extra points: Les Lombardi's Aggies have been in every
game except Scranton and miss the services of Aggie star Ken
Mitchell who is out with a knee injury. Bill Stanley made
several pressure points in the victory over Moravian and Mark
Tymes made a key steal to set up the charity throws.
Senior Steve Fornoff almost made his half court shot
after the Scranton game. If it hadn't rolled off the rim, Steve
would be driving that 1980 Z28 today.
The Aggies host Philadelphia Pharmacy on Monday,
February 4th, and Kings College on Friday, February 8th.
Both games start at 8:00 p.m.

LADY AGGIES ARE 6-2
One obstacle in the path to success for the Lady Hoopers
of Delaware Valley Colle^ has been Franklin and Marshall
College until Tuesday, January 22, 19801
The Lady Aggies, led by Co-Captain Joyce Newswanger,
18, Brenda Wolfe, 18, and sophomore scoring leader Patti
Rissinger, 12, were able to remove that obstacle as they
defeated Franklin and Marshall 69-53 on their home floor.
The Lady Aggies took a 4-1 record into the weekend, and
managed to break even by defeating Muhlenberg College
63-53, Friday, January 25th, but falling to Wilkes Saturday,
January 26th, 71-64.
Outstanding for the Aggies in the Muhlenberg game was
junior forward Diane Windholz. Although Windholz did not
start, she came off the*bench, scored 10 points, and pulled
down five crucial rebounds midway through the second half.
Also in double figures for the Aggies was Co-Captain
Joyce Newswanger (15). Brenda Wolfe and Patti Rissinger
added 10 points.
The Lady Aggies were able to hold All-American Diane
Kendig of Wilkes to 15 points, but the Colonels received
balanced scoring from their other team members as they
downed the Aggies in a bitter struggle in Doylestown.
Wilkes led at half time 34-31, twt the Aggies fought back
to take a 10-point leid with 7:39 remaining. The Wilkes
press stymied the Aggies as it caused numerous turnovers.
The Lady Colonels scored 1 2 unanswered points. Even with a
time out, the Lady Aggies could not maintain the poise
necessary to stifle the Colonels' momentum, which carried
them onto victory.
Joyce Newswanger contributed a seasonal high of 23 to
ease the pain of defeat. Other Aggies players in double
figures were: Brenda Wolfe, 12, and Marcia Werner, 10.
In a barnburner Monday evening, January 28th, the Aggies
ended their late January marathon by defeating Kings
College 64-61. The Aggies jumped off to a 9-1 lead, but saw
that fade in minutes, as Kings rallied, scoring 8 out of 1Q
points from the foul line. Kings gained the lead and never
lost it until the 4:38 mark in the ga^e when Del Val
managed a five-point edge.
With :40 seconds remaining on the clock, :17 on the
30-second clock, and the score 62-61, Del Val had possession.
They worked the ball around hoping for a zone shot, and a
three-point edge; however, a costly turnovier erased any
thought of taking that one shot. Kings took possession. They
cautiously worked the ball, using as much of the clock as
possible. They were even able to get it inside for a short
lay-up, but could not connect. Brenda Wolfe, who scored 12
points for Del Val, came down with the rebound and was
fouled with :02 remaining. She shot both ends of the one on
one to clinch the win for the Aggies.
Also in double figures for Del Val was Diane Windholz,
who scored her seasonal high of 16; Patti Rissinger and
Marcia Werner added 10, while Co-Captain Joyce News-
wanger netted 1 2.
Lady Extras: Peggy Vellner's Lady Aggies are now 6-2 overall
and 1-1 in league play. They have a short respite until
Saturday, February 2nd, when they will be the guests of
Allentown College in a traditional Homecoming Game begin-
ning at 1:00 p.m. in Center Valley, Pa.
AGGIE WRESTLING
CONTINUES SATURDAY
by Bob Kimmey
The Aggies wrestling team came back from Christmas
vacation early to face Scranton in a 24-20 lo$s. Next they
faced last year's MAC Champion, Lycoming. Lycoming over-
powered Del Val despite three winners - D'Alessandro,
Nebhut, and Robertson. In their match against Susquehanna
there were six winners and Del Val won 27-1 5. Among the
six winners were three freshmen - D'Alessandro, Ausec and
Nebhut. This year's wrestling team is a very young one,
having Bill Crozier as its only senior member and eight
juniors.
Prior to the Christmas break, the Aggies, coached by Bob
Marshall, racked up a 3-3 record. Matches are held on
Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the next home match is on
Saturday, February 2nd, against Muhlenberg/Moravian.

COFFEE, DONUTS AND
STANLEY BROMBERG
That's right, folks - you can start your Tuesday mornings
off right with Southern Stanley. WAPO is proud to announce
that after much hard work, we have finally recruited Stanley
Bromberg to the ranks of a WAPO DJ.
This is a significant event. We have finally obtained a

to your ears. It's a form of music known as "melted metal".
Due to the mind-numbing popularity of our famed celebrity,
we are imploring the DVC security force to instate a crack
riot division on the second floor of Segal Hall. Telegrams
from such world-shapers as King Hussein, Ronald Reagan,
Margaret Thatcher, Idi Amin, Dave Gilmore and many others
could not be handled by the DVC mail room. If any of your
important mail is late, please excuse the inconvenience, as
you can see the importance of this world-shaking event.
*'STAR TREK:
The Motion Piaure
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and Deforest
Kelly
Directed by Robert Wise Rating ***yi
The purpose of Star Trek: The Motion Picture should, if
nothing else, constitute the phrase, "Old trekkies never die,
they just return in forty-three-million dollar motion pictures."
Well, regardless of the possibility of that phrase catching on,
Star Trek will undoubtedly be regarded as one of the most
extravagant science fiction films ever produced.
The plot of the film manages to reunite the entire Enter-
prise crew together in an attempt to confront an oncoming
treacherous cloud formation, identified only as "V-ger", who
tends to disintegrate anything in its sight that cannot cor-
rectly respond to its plea to meet its "creator". V-ger's
present course is headed directly to, none other than, the
carbon-based inhabited planet Earth.
William Shatner, to say the least, seems to be delisted to
recreate his role of Captain (excuse me) Admiral James Titius
Kirk. Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock appears to be as logical as
ever to both his fellow crew and the audience. And to add a
little spice to the Kirk and Spock team, DeForest Kelly as
Dr. Bones McCoy humorously moans and groans through the
entire journey. As for the rest of the crew, give or take a few
gray hairs, a little weight gain, and a few additions such as
Stephen Collins as Captain Decker and Persis Khambata as
the shaven-head native of the planet Delta, everybody appears
in tact.
Special mention should be given to the technical portion
of this film which was created by special effects whizzes John
Dykstra (Star Wars) and Douglas Trumbull (Close Encounters
of the Third Kind). The collaboration of Mr. Dykstra and Mr,
Trumbull, under the direction of Robert Wise (The Hlnden-
berg), and Jerry Goldsmith's brilliant musical score makes
Star Trek absolutely breathtaking.
Trekkie or not, fight the lines and go see Star Trek. Trust
me, you'll enjoy it.

DID YOU KNOW.?
by Dwight Bohm
Delaware Valley College contains many diligent students.
The people of this school work very hard, but many of the
students here at DVC find time to get out and enjoy the
great outdoors. For this reason the Collegian has formed a
weekly column telling you interesting facts about the out-
doors.
1. Did you know that a razor-tip hunting arrow can go
through a human being lengthwise?
2. Last year at this time, there was already seven inches of
ice on the local lakes.
3. To a whitetail deer the scent of a human being is worse
than that of a skunk.
If you have any "Did You Know's" that you think people
might enjoy, leave it in my Box (No. 602) at the school
Post Office.

TOMA WILL SPEAK HERE
MONDAY
An evening with David Toma is never, ever one-sided. His
straight ull(ing manner, franl<ness and at tinnes, frightening
honesty are immediately apparent. The rapport is insuntane-
ogs. First, on an emotional level, because Toma goes right to
the heart of his audience, and then in a wildly verbal way,
because Toma audiences don't just casually rap, they yell and
cheer and argue, laugh and cry.
David Toma is one tough cookie - Almost twenty years
on the Newark Police Force; over seven thousand arrests
(with an unprecedented 98% conviction rate); hospitalized
more than thirty times for almost every injury imaginable;
the only person in history ever to have two major television
series (TOMA and BARETTA) modelled after his life and
aired simulUneously. How many times did this legendary law
officer fire his service revolver in the line of duty? Astound-
ingly,not once!
He can be heard on Monday, February 11th, 1980, at
8:00 P.M. in Mandell Hall, Room 114.
ANIMAL SCIENCE
CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD HERE
Delaware Valley College has been selected to host the first
annual Winter Conference of the Northeastern Student
Affiliate Division of the American Dairy Society Association
and the National Block and Bridle Club on February 15 16
and 17th. ' '
The Conference is being planned by Student Affiliate
President, Ron Bates, SecreUry-Treasurer, Nancy Wenger,
and President Advisor, Dr. Frederick Hofsaess, all of Delaware
Valley College. The plans for this weekend consist of a Friday
Night Student Affiliate reception. A tour of the College's
farms Saturday morning, followed by a business meeting to

banquet and a square dance Saturday night. A farewell
brunch for Sunday morning is also on the agenda. The guest
speaker for the banquet is Dr. Peter Gerity of Salt Lake City,
Uuh, who will speak on International Agriculture with an
emphasis on livestock. There are approximately 200-250
studenu expected to arrive at Delaware Valley from some 10
different schools throughout the region.
The Student Affiliate is composed of all non-land grant
and land grant institutions that have a Block and Bridle Club
that is recognized by their respective national organizations.
These colleges must be located in the Northeastern part of
the United States to belong to this regional organization.
The Northeastern Student Affiliate is a unique organization
In that no other organization of its type combines both
Animal Science and Dairy Science.
Anyone who would like to "lend" his room for the
weekend should see Dr. Hofsaess. Rooms are needed for the
guests and would be greatly appreciated.
"GOING IN STYLE"
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: George Burns, Art Carney, Lee Strasberg
Directed by: /Martin Brest Rating: ***
Three old men sharing an apartment and living expenses
together with just their Social Security checks *>ho one day
decide to spice up their boring lives by robbing a New York
City bank has some interesting and funny possibilities behind
it. One might bring to mind Sydney Lumet's 1975 bank heist
film, Dog Day Afternoon, and picture those circumstances
with not Al Pacino and John Cazale handling the robbery,
but instead with George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Stras-
berg robbing the bank. Or better yet, think of Paul
Mazzurisky's 1974 film Harry and Tonto (which, incidentally,
earned an Academy Award for Art Carney's performance in
the title role) and imagine these three elderly gentlemen
discovering life in the fast lane toother. The possible
humorous predicaments for the three are endless. But
instead, director-screenwriter Martin Brest takes the easy
way out and gives us a very honest, touching, and realistic
approach that is not all too humorous.
Going In Style does indeed borrow bits from Dog Day
Afternoon and Harry and Tonto but manages to handle the
load completely on its own. There is very little humor to be
found, if any at all, in the very real elements that we must
some day all confront - old age, loneliness and death.
I must admit that I had placed high expectations on Going
in Style that failed to come about Naturally, I thought that a
film that combined the Ulents of Academy Award veteran
performers George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg in an
attempt to rob a bank couldn't be anything short of
hilarious. Even though this film failed to live up to my pre-
conceived expecutions, I must still credit director Martin
Brest with not only possessing the courage of underuking a
potentially funny plot and treating it as realistically as
possible, but also with his smooth execution of it.
George Burns, an Oscar winner for his supporting role
performance in Herbert Ross' 1975 film The Sunshine Boys
stands clear and above to be nominated a best actor nomina:
tion for his portrayal of Joe Harris, the ringleader of the
three in Going In Style. His performance ranges from his
usual humorous gestures and phrases to a very dramatic and
emotional side that has never been displayed in his acting
before. Both Art Carney and Lee Strasberg merit special
recognition for their amusingly touching performances as
George Burns' elderly accomplices.
I recommend seeing Going in Style with only one pre-
caution, however - don't be misled into thinking that you're
about to view a riproarious comedy. Think of it instead as a
very realistic and touching film entwined with light overtones.
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
According to Dr. Tibor Pelle, the Animal Husbandry
Department exhibited three head of Beef Cattle at the
Pennsylvania Farm Show. They placed as follows:
1 An^s heifer calf 1 3th in her class
1 Angus heifer calf 1 4th in her class
1 Hereford heifer calf 1 2th in her class
Cindy Cybowski, Nancy Wenger and Ronald Bates helped
with the fitting and showing of the animals.
SECOND ENERGY
MEETING SET
A group of students has organized an alternative energy
exhibit for this year's "A" Day. The exhibit will include a
permanent 10' x 18' solar-heated greenhouse, a methane
generator, a solar fruit and vegetable dryer, solar cooker, and
a demonstration on wind power. There has even been some
discussion about a solar still!
We will be showing movies about the energy problems we
face and ways to solve those problems through conservation
and the use of wind, solar and biomass energy. There is the
possibility of an alternative energy/energy conservation
teach-in.
This exhibit has the moral and financial support of both
the "A" Day committee and administration. We have the
cooperation of many faculty members. Mr. Gavin has allowed
us the use of the Drama Club room to complete art work for
the exhibit. Mr. Wolford and Mr. Claycombs have provided
use of the farm machinery facilities. Dr. Mertz, Mr. York,
Mr. Happ, and the entire maintenance crew are providing use
of tools for the project.
At the first general meeting of the Alternative Energy
Committee, there were over 40 students and one faculty
member in attendance. Special thanks to all those who
attended, especially to those folks who are volunteering their
time and energy toward the completion of this project. There
is a lot of work to be done.
There will be another meeting on Wednesday, February
13, 1980, at 7:00 p.m. in Mandell 114. All are invited.
THE DVC INDOOR RIFLE
GUARD? WHAT'S THAT? "
by Tony Proscia
The Indoor Rifle Guard, new this year, was first started
about four months ago. its main purpose is to perform at
half-time at home basketball games. The guard for this year is
made up of five freshmen from Del Val and one senior from
Pennridge High School. During the spring, the guard may be
competing in a competition in upstate Pennsylvania.
The background on the guard members goes like this:
Diana Jenkins is a senior at Pennridge High School. Th»s is
her fourth year with the marching band. She was both rifle
captain and feature rifle during this past football Kason.
Diana is also marching with the RJ's drill corps.
Debi Jenkins is a freshman here at the CoHege and
graduated from Pennridge High School. Debi twirled with the
Pennridge marching band for two years. She was rifle captain
last year and is also involved with the RJ's drill corps.
Jacky Men to, who graduated from Downingtown Senior
High School last year, was an instrumentalist with the march-
ing band for four years. For Jacky, this is her first year as a
rifle twirler. In the past two and a half months, Jacky has
made much progress.
Heather Hoffman is a graduate of Voorhees High School,
N.J, She was silk capuin of the marching band in her junior
and senior years in high school. At present. Heather is the
guard manager and is learning rifle.
The student instructors are Tony Proscia ind Lauren
Clawson. Tony Proscia is a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High
School. He has been involved in the high school marching
band for four years as an instrumentalist. Last year he was
Drum Major of the marching band. He has one year of Indoor
Guard competition experience and was the first male to make
the rifle line at Wilson. He is also the assisunt rifle Instructor
for the Indoor Guard at Wilson.
Lauren Clawson graduated from Lock Haven High School.
She has had three years marching band and two years of
Indoor Guard experience. She was the rifle captain last year
and has competed in individual competitions. Both Tony and
Lauren are hoping to be rifle instructors at Downingtown
Senior High School next year;
For those of you who have never heard of an Indoor
Guard, they are usually made up of six to eight rifles, eight
to sixteen flags and four to six sabres. Because of the limited
numbers, they can only field a rifle line this year. They are
hoping to increase their numbers next year. An Indoor show
normally lasts nine to twelve minutes. This year they step off
the line to Chuck Mangione'sy4/M///i the Beginning, followed
by Maynard Ferguson's Birdland.
Anyone who is interested in finding out about the Guard
or joining or learning to twirl, should get in touch with any
one of the members of the Guard.

THE WALL - a review
of
by Fredster (resident Floydo/ogist, Delaware Valley
College)
In this the year of our Pink Floyd nineteen hundred and
eighty, the band continues to fly high. Their new album is
good. For those of y(XJ who don't know what a Pink Floyd
is, I will try to explain before the worms eat into your brain.
Pink Floyd is four men who, for the lack of anything
better to do, occasionally fool around with various instru-
ments and record the results of their small get-togethers in
album form. Everybody else is just green. The members of
this obscure band include: Mason, Nick - percussion; Wright,
Richard - keyboards; Gilmour, David - guitars; Walters, Roger
- bass. Due to the fact that I have not mentioned any vocalists
in the band, there probably aren't any. You wouldn't remem-
ber their lyrics anyway. The members of the bafnd have all
become comfortably numb and are enjoying the happiest
days of their lives. But don't look so frightened - this is just
a passing phase.
Pink Floyd, "masters of rock" which they are, continue
to explore the empty spaces within the minds of us and
them. Recently I received a post card from the band which
read as follows:
"Dear Fredster, We are ticking away the moments which
make up a dull day. We are waiting for the worms.
Thought we'd something more to say. Wish you were
here. Syd Barrett and friends."
Enough of this meddling. What "more" can I say? The
band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh, by the
way, which one's Pink??? To the animals who would like to
see Emily play, you must try to control your young lust For
showing feelings of an almost human nature, say three umma
gummas and one atom heart mother. Welcome to the
machine and I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

COLLEGE BEEKEEPING
CLUB PURCHASES HONEY
EXTRACTOR
As part of their program to enhance the art of beekeeping,
the College's Apiary Society (beekeeping club) recently
purchased a 10-frame radial stainless steel Maxant honey
extractor. The sophisticated piece of equipment is used to
remove the honey from the honeycombs so that the combs
can be returned to the bees for future use.
The Club currently has about 50 members, most of whom
had never seen the inside of a beehive until joining the Qub.
Club members raise money for their various activities through
the sale of honey and beeswax candles to fellow students at
home football games and at other college functions. Over the
years, the Club has t)een involved in the purchase of many
items used in the management of the College's apiaries. Also
starting in 1969, the Club took over an abandoned college
building and, with the cooperation of th* administration, it
completely renovated the building which now serves as a
honey house and also as the center for other honey bee
related activities on campus.
The Club has been involved In many other honey bee
related activities both on and off campus. In January, 1976,
the Club set up a display at the Annual Meeting of the
American Beekeeping Federation which was held in Philadel-
phia that year. The display was entitled "The Story of
Honey" and it showed to those in attendance the progres-
sion of honey from the flower to the grocer's shelf. The Club
has also been involved in judging honey shows in Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey; in helping with the Delaware Valley
College beekeeping short course; and in sponsoring programs
on campus with Mr. Jim Steinhauer, Pennsylvviia Depart-
nrtent of Agriculture being this year's guest speaker in March.
The Oub's origin goes back to the early days of the
College. With the death of Professor Schmcider in the early
1960s, the Club became inactive. The arrival of Jeff Clarke,
son of Bill and Bess Clarke, as a student in 1966, brought
about a revitalization of the Club. In 1968 Jeff took a lease
of absence for a stint in the service, and Dr. Robert Berthold
arrived as a member of the Biology Department, at which
time he became Club advisor. From the initial seven Club
members upon his arrival. Dr. Berthold has seen the Club's
numbers greatly increase.
Dr. Berthold is currently Associate Professor of Biology
and Assistant Chairman of the Biology Department. He is
active as a coach in Cross Country and Track and teaches
General Biology and Entomology. He serves part time with
the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture as an Apiary
Inspector and lectures throughout the year on the subject of
beekeeping.
As one of its elective courses, Delaware Valley College
offirs a regular three-credit Apiculture course during the
spring semester. In the course, Dr. Berthold attempts to
associate both the theoretical and the practical aspects of
beekeeping. During the course, the students are exposed to
many of the interesting facts of bees and beekeeping with the
Honey House and College Apiary being extensively utilized.
From the onset of the course, each student is also assigned a
colony of honey bees which he or she has the opportunity of
managing for the remainder of the semester. The College also
offers two three-day beekeeping short courses each year —
one in the spring and one in the summer.
Over the years through participation in the Club and
taking either the short course or the regular course, many
Delaware Valley College graduates have become involved in
beekeeping either as a full-time avocation, a side line, or a
hobby.
CALENDAR CHANGED
by Rick Lewis
Although possibly overlooked by many, the DVC Student
Government (and specifically the House of Social Activities)
recently made the first major change in the calendar in many
centuries. By decree, as evidenced in their most recent
Calendar of Events, February now has 30 days. Possibly,
though, as this is a leap year, it may usually only conUin 29
days - unless, of course, December will pick up the extra
day every fourth year, leaving the two additional February
days to be picked up from months with 31. We expect to
hear something about this from Student Government in the
near future.
NOTE: The Collegian has learned from a reliable source
that the 30th day in February was Inadvertently
added by the printer, who declined to be identified,
but they are located % mile from the College.
Perhaps March could begin on day two this year.

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES
Dear Editor,
Brrr-rr-rr . . . it's cold on the D.V.C. campus. With bone-
chilling temperatures in the teens and Lake Archer being
frozen over, one might think that this letter is about the
recent frigid weather we have experienced, but it is not.
Rather it is about the general student body of this campus.
With a total population of approximately 1 ,400 students, I
expected to find a small, close-knit and friendly community
atmosphere at the college - much like that of my neighbor-
hood. But instead I found a college community meticulously
divided into groups of residents vs. commuters, "eggheads"
vs. "jocks", seniors vs. sophomores, this major vs. that major,
and so on until everyone is placed into a niche. These niches
are so small that they become individual islands from which
no one can enter or leave.
I have also found a rare breed of arrogance (ignorance) on
this campus which is called the "better than thou" and "I am
God's gift to the world" attitude. Although its causes are
unknown, its symptoms are very clear and pronounced.
Examples of these are: 1) talking to people only when
convenient (i.e., when missing lecture notes or an assign-
ment), 2) completely forgetting one's lab partner over
vacations, or 3) forgetting one's summer job co-worker as
soon as returning to school.
In conclusion, I would like to say that not everyone on
campus is an arrogant ***. Many individuals are warm,
friendly and kind people whose company can make you
forget about the rest of this school. These individuals know
whom they are, and I personally want to thank them for
being just "plain folk" and not the "deity".
Sincerely,
Somebody Stuck in the Freezer
Dear Stuck,
As much as I hate to say it, I'm afraid that you are going
to find the Impersonal attitudes which you described being
present throughout almost all of your future social and
business experiences. Besides, are you trying to say that you
have no prejudices?
All social groups exist because its members have some-
thing in common with everyone else In the group. Otherwise,
what would be the purpose of the group? I agree that it is a
shame If these groups will not communicate with one
another (If, In fact, they don 't), but I think that your second
and third examples of arrogance are a bit far-fetched.
By the way, you siem to have good writing skills. Have
you ever considered joining the COLLEGIAN staff? We
won't snub you! Meetings are at 4:00 p.m. on Monday
afternoons in the basement of ill man Hall (across from the
laundromat).
Sincerely,
Rick Lewis
Dear Editor:
I have a problem which I feel the Student Government
must deal with. My stereo constantly is too loud and I have
been unable to correct the situation. I have tailed Mike
Tierson repeatedly but WMMR refuses to turn down the
volume on my stereo. Also, I question the quality of music
played on this radio station as it seems to be "hard rock" and
"heavy metal". I have also called up WMMR and repeatedly
asked them to change their playing format, only to be
ridiculed and cussed at.
Now, this really burns me up. Being a person of extremely
limited thinking, I cannot understand why they don'l turn
the volume down on my stereo, or why I can't change the
station. I also believe my sentiments and beliefs are repre-
sented correctly by the numerous musical critics and radio
technicians on the Student Government, and that a formal
complaint to the FCC should be brought forth now.

"QUADROPHENIA"
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring- Phil Daniels
Directed by Franc Roddman
Rating: ***
Rated R
Quadrophenla: n. Personality split Into four separate
facets; advanced state of schizophrenia; twice the normal
accepted medical condition. Inability to control which
facet is foremost at any one time.
Between the period of 1961 to 1964, the youth of Great
Britain were encountering a strange rebellious turmoil within
their society - a turmoil that would later appear in the
United States with the emergence of such British rock bands
as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who. Within that
period in Great Britain, a three-way revolution had flourished
between the "mods" and the "rockers", and the parents who
never could grasp what was going on with their children at
that time. The "mods" were a group of youths compiled of
radical, strangely dressed, pill poppers who drove about the
town on motor scooters. The "rockers", on the other hand,
were leather-jacketed, slicked-back-hair motorcyclists who
rode to the music of various American rock 'n rollers such as
Elvis Presley, jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard. The con-
frontations between the two almost always led to violent
gang fights that would make anything in the 1979 film The
Warriors look like a scuffle in a peanut gallery. The anthem
which the "mods" clung to, incidentally, was the Who's
classic "My Generation".
Our guide through this "mod-rocker" experience, other
than the Who's music, is jimmy Cooper, a truly dedicated
"mod" who places all of his life's emphasis oh his motor
scooter, various pills, sex, and intense degrees of violence,
jimmy, however, is a quadrophenic, which can be described
as one who is suffering from an extremely volatile state of
mind. His illness brings about the following hardships to him;
his parents throw him out of the house, he loses his job, his
friends begin to constantly question his erratic behavior, and
finally his insane state of mind turns suicidal when he is
brushed aside by the girl he loves.
Quadrophenla is a remarkably well put together film. The
acting of Phil Daniels as jimmy, the excellently photographed
scenes as directed by Franc Roddman, and (of course) the
magnificently brilliant soundtrack by The Who all add up
perfectly to, bring Peter Townshend's 1973 roCk opera to the
screen. My only criticism of Quadrophenla, however, is that it
is very "British", and as most British productions screened to
American audiences in the past have demonstrated, they can
tend to be a little drawn out and weary with their style of
dry humor and wit. Quadrophenla is no exception. Still in all,
aside from my one point of criticism, Quadrophenla is a good
film and I would recommend seeing it.
A special note of information is necessary for those Who
fans who, like myself, have encountered difficulty in trying
to understand Peter Townshend's 1973 rock opera. The film
version of Quadrophenla explains it flawlessly without
eliminating a single detail. As a matter of fact, just the other
day both Dr. jimmy and Mr. jim came out and joined me for
a nightcap of a, well you guessed it, a gin and tonic.
"KRAMER vs. KRAMER "
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep,
Jane Alexander, and Justin Henry
Directed by Robert Benton Rating: ****
Clearly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, Kramer vs. Kramer
stands as the most likely candidate for the American film of
the year. Kramer vs. Kramer contains superb acting perform-
ances, a brilliant diredorial effort, a very contemporary
subject matter, and an amusing musical score. With all of
these positive elements in this film's favor, Kramer vs. Kramer
is a production that fares nothing short of success.
Kramer vs. Kramer, which is based on the novel of the
same name by Avery Corman, is a story about a Rising young
advertising executive who is so entangled in his career that he
almost totally neglects the basic human needs of his wife and
"KRAIV1ER vs. KRAMER" (continued)
seven-year-old son. It's the husband's (Ted Kramer) alienation
from his wife (Johanna Kramer) that builds up so tremen-
dously on her that forces her to leave her husband and child
and to pursue some sort of life of her own. The husband, left
alone with the child, is confronted with the dilemna of estab-
lishing a relationship with his son as well as continuing his
vigorous career schedule. Well, fortunately for the father and
son, their relationship (give or take a few sliortcoirings)
manages to develop superbly until it is jeopardized by the
return of the mother — thus embarking on a very severe, as
well as painful, child custody case.
Academy Award nominations will almost certainly come
for the performances of Dustin Hoffman as Ted Kramer,
Meryl Streep as Johanna Kramer, Justin Henry as the son
Billy, and jane Alexander as a supportive neighbor who
serves as a mutual friend of Ted and Johanna. In particular,
further mention of Dustin Hoffman's performance is neces-
sary, for Hoffman's portrayal of Ted Kramer certainly ranks
alongside some of the actor's other fine performances, such as
Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate, Ricco "Ratso" Rizzo in
Midnight Cowboy, and Lenny Bruce in the biographical film
of the late comedian, Lenny.
Director-screenwriter Robert Benton (The Late Show)
really comes into his own with Kramer vs. Kramer. Benton's
thoroughly entertaining staging of such a very difficuK and
serious subject matter triumphantly places this director in the
realm of such great contemporary American directors as
Coppola, Spielberg, Ashby and Lucas.
Viewing Kramer vs. Kramer is certainly an enjoyable
experience that I strongly recommend for all. In closing,
please allow me the dastardly pleasure of revealing the out-
come of Kramer vs. Kramer in this writing: Kramer . . .
wins! Ha-ha, get it? Kramer wins . . . you know . . . Kramer
vs. Kramer . . . who wins? . . . Kramer! Oh, well, see you at
the box office.
THE ELECTRIC
HORSEMAN"
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: Robert Redford, Jane Fonda
Co-starring: Valarie Perrine, Willie Nelson
Directed by Sydney Pollack
Rating: ***%
Imagine this for a moment. Robert Redford, as a former
rodeo champ, "horsenaps" a twelve-million dollar thorough-
bred former race horse champion who is now the trademark
of a large corporation; and jane Fonda as a sharp network
news reporter who accompanies Redford on his horse theft.
Together they combine and really stick it to the money-
hungry corporate powers of America. Sounds simple? Yes, it
is. Sounds amusing? Yes, it is.
Considering the serious subject matter of the two prin-
cipals' last two film outings (Mr. Redford's All the President's
Men, which dealt with two Washington Post reporters un-
covering a simple break-in which ultimately led to Watergate;
and Ms. Fonda's The China Syndrome which uncovered the
possible horrors of nuclear power in lieu of the Three Mile
Island crisis) one would think that Mr. Redford and Ms.
Fonda, as well as their movie audiences, could use a little
break. The Electric Horseman provides Redford and Fonda,
as well as the audience, that little break.
Robert Redford, in completing his four-year semi-retire-
ment from acting, makes an often amusing and funny return
to the silver screen in his performance of Sonny Steele, a
disillusioned one-time rodeo champ, now a spokesman for a
huge corporation's breakfast cereal, jane Fonda turns in her
usual fine acting performance as a newsreporter who just
won't leave Redford alone. Add to that cast Valarie Perrine
as Redford's ex-wife, John Saxson as the villainous corporate
mogul in pursuit of Redford, and Willie Nelson in his acting
debut as Redford's trusty companion, and you put together
the elements for an enjoyable trip to the movie theatre.
If the combination of Redford and Fonda together for the
first time since Barefoot In the Park doesn't grab you, then at
least check out the film for some of those "good ol' cowboy
tunes" as performed by - none other than - Willie Nelson.

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF
LAKE ARCHER
by Dominic Centonze
As one would pass by Lake Archer during the spring or
early fall, he would get the impression that it is only an algae-
filled water pool. To some of us outdoorspeople, it serves as
an ice skating rink during the winter. It may not be the best
quality ice as far as smoothness is concerned, but it surely
satisfies the ice skater. Few realize the amount of fish caught
in it when there is no ice covering. It is filled with carp, some
of which have measured up to 25 inches. Bass are also Uken
occasionally. An 18" largemouth was caught there last fall.
The pond is also used for biological purposes. It is also an
emergency water supply in case of a fire. The pond is not so
bad after all - and, by the way, last fall I caught 78 fish in it.
The pond is a real winner!
DID YOU KNOW.'

THE GRAY HOLE
The place Is in me, like the swirling fog by a river at
morning. Its presence abounds.
Pain and sorrow, open emptiness, unfulfillment, disguised
by joyful sounds.
They kid you about how you need it all to survive, those who
rot in close order drill.
Don 't listen. Be like the last bald eagle in a sea of cities,
still perched upon the hill
Being a wind on a grassy plain has the meaning of a grain
of sand.
To them the power is in pictured leaves clenched in palm
of hand.
And what will I have someday when I cower warm in a box
of wood?
Why the buttons of life are at my command. Ah cent rati ty,
it should feel so good.
But I 'II always have a pain floating In me like a far point
on a map.
And I'll know that the children still live there before they're
led Into the trap.
I shall be haunted by that place In a wild mellow forest as
I drift from young to old.
Each zodiac will take me farther away as I grow empty,
bitter, cold.
Few escape the vortex of the gray hole.
SELF-PROTECTION
by Mrs. Navarre
The Residence Life Office is offering you a self-defense
device called the ChemShield. This non-lethal device is a
means of protecting yourself.
The spray canister contains Vi ounce of repellent: 1%
Ortho-chlorobenzal-malononitrile (CS) with a non-toxic sol-
vent. The canister is carried in a key ring case. As long as you
have your keys with you, you have a means of self-defense.
The canister can be removed from the case, if so desired. The
spray has an effective range up to 10 feet. It has been
suggested that the ChemShield self-protection device is more
effective than the mace "gun".
Chemical Shield has been certified by an independent
FDA-recognized testing laboratory as not being a hazardous
substance under the terms of the Federal Hazardous Sub-
sUnces Act of August 12, 1961. Tests involved eyes, skin,
acute dermal sensitivity and inhalation. Chemical Shield will
not cause any permanent after effects.
The effects of ChemShield produce extreme tearing and
discomfort to the eyes; involuntary closing of the eyes; tight-
ness of chest and throat (causing a feeling of suffocation)
accompanied by panic; extreme nasal discharge; stinging or
burning sensation on skin areas; headache, dizziness or
swimming of the head; inability to take effective concerted
action for ten to twenty minutes after exposure.
Please contact Mrs. Navarre of the Residence Life Office
by February 29th if you are interested in further information
and placing an order.
STUDENT CONSERVATION
PROGRAM
• Volunteer Positions Available in Parks and Forests •
Last summer I spent my time as a volunteer Backcountry
Information Specialist in Yosemite National Park, through a
little known organization called the Student Conservation
Association. While on Backcountry patrol I hiked over 200
trail miles in total, and saw countless waterfalls, lakes, granite
domes, and alpine wildflowers. My job involved issuing
wilderness permits to backpackers, relaying information on
trail conditions, helping perform rescues, and trail main-
tenance.
Each summer the S.C.A, posts over a hundred different
volunteer positions in various National Parks and Forests. The
Association will pay for your transporUtion to and from the
job site, a uniform, a place to stay, and $40 a week for food.
Some of this summer's jobs include: maintaining the
Appalachian Trail in Maine, monitoring elk activity on Mount
Rainier, and living like a pioneer in a log cabin in the
Colorado Rockies as a living history demonstration.
If you are interested, the application deadline for this
summer's programs is March 1st - so get on the stick! To
obtain an application, call the number listed on the card

Monday, February 11, 1980, David Toma came to Dela-
ware Valley Colle^ and talked to a crowd that filled Mandell
I lecture hall from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and afterward
talked informally to a crowd until 10:45 p.m. When Mr.
Toma left, he had made an impression on everyone who had
heard him.
Mr. Toma was introduced by Jim Trainer. Jim told of
how Mr. Toma had spent 21 years on the police force, six-
teen of which he spent as a detective dealing with narcotics,
gambling, and the Mafia in Newark, N.J. Jim also told of how
Mr. Toma never fired his gun during his 21 years on the force
and that Mr. Toma had an incredible 98% conviction rate,
while the average is only about 1 5%.
Mr. Toma started his lecture by giving his background. He
spent five years on the force before he became a detective.
After Mr. Toma became a detective, he started doing what he
is famous for today. Mr. Toma became a master of disguises.
His car held all of his disguises and whenever the need arose
he was able to change to meet the need. He went down and
lived with the drug addicts. He attempted to blend in with
the drug addicts and find out why they did what they did.
Mr. Toma had five nephews who were drug addicts. They
told him that most people don't care about those that are
down and out. But it was when Mr. Toma himself Inadver-
tently became a drug addict that he was able to relate what
his nephew had told him, and his nephew also helped him
kick the drug habit.
Mr. Toma then tried to reach kids who were on drugs and
tell them what was happening with the drugs and how thty
can screw up your life. It was because of his efforts that the
police department gave him a lot of trouble, even to tiv
point of threatening his life.
Eventually, through his extreme persistence, he was able
to get his book published and a TV series created about his
life. They wanted to call the series "Supercop", but he
wouldn't allow it since he is only an ordinary human who
really cares.
Mr. Toma never in his lecture praised himself. He tries to
give two to three lectures a day in high schools and elemen-
tary schools. He has Ulked to groups of second and third
graders, and hardly ever talks to colleges any more. In the
fifty states, 80% of the kids are into drugs and alcohol.
People in all walks of life - parents, teachers, cops - are into
drugs.
In America, we are losing a war; we are in the process of
self-annihilation. Mr. Toma related things which he has seen
happen as a result of the use of drugs. He said that marijuana
is the most unpredictable drug in the world. There arc 95-100
different chemicals in marijuana before it is lit, and 300
different chemicals after it is lit. Marijuana conuins the
chemical THC. After smoking one joint of marijuana, THC
lies in the body from three weeks to three months. It lies in
the fat tissue which metabolize slowly; it lies in the brain and
destroys brain cells; and it lies in women's reproductive
organs and destroys them. The babies born of women who
have smoked marijuana are sometimes severely crippled.
Also, slowly but surely, it makes you lose your memory, and
this can drive you crazy.
Mr. Toma related stories of things he had seen as a direct
result of drug use. Some people might call them horror
stories, but horror stories are usually fictional, created for
enjoyment. These stories were real! Last year the drug
industry was estimated to have earned $100 billion - this
was more than the top industries combined. Marijuana has
been estimated to be second to water in use in some areas.
Mr. Toma became emotional during his lecture. This was
easy to understand when you realize how much he cares and
how involved he is in what he is doing. Mr. Toma said that
a cure for this messed up situation in which America finds
herself is a strong family life with loving and touching being
the basic ingredients. Mr. Toma also offers this advice to
anyone who is in a situation where drugs and alcohol seem to
be the answer or a way out. Get your head together; care
about yourself; learn to cope; learn to deal with it. If you
have to get high, get high on life. And reach out to others;
you can't make it alone.
Mr. Toma made an impression on everyone there Monday
night. In some way he touched each one of them. If you are
someone who uses drugs or alcohol and try to get bombed
every Friday, you should have been there. If Mr. Toma
returns to DVC, or makes an appearance in the area, you
should try to make it. It couldn't hurt, and Mr. Toma would
love for you to hear him because he cares what happens.

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
Dear Editor,
During the past few weeks I have become increasingly
distressed over the exorbitant amount of pigeon droppings
accumulating on the front steps of the Feldman Agriculture
Building. My stomach turns violently whenever I walk
through this diseased, bacteria-ridden area. Is not anyone but
me aware or concerned over this potential health hazard?
But, alas, could it be that the defecant material is being
left there for some reason I am not aware of? Perhaps college
officials are planning to open a guano processing plant in the
near future? Or could it be that good old David Moyer is
planning some exotic addition to the menu. (But, then,
anything would be an improvement!)
I think the real reason for the rapidly accumulating drop-
pings lies in the fact that we have a bunch of incompetent
people in charge of the campus grounds. This surely must be
true, as I can think of no other reason why such an atrocious
condition would be allowed to prevail for so long.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I hope that the
aforementioned defecant material will be promptly removed,
and the area will be kept clean and free of any diseased or
unaesthetically pleasing material in the future.
Signed,
Fed Up With Filth!
Dear Fed Up:
We have checked with the Maintenance Department and
learned that they are looking Into the purchase of ultrasonic
sound devices called Bird-X that are designed to chase away
birds nesting in and around the Feldman Agriculture Building.
These devices will not harm the birds and, If installed, we
have been assured that the troublesome mess will be cleaned
up.
Editor
Dear Editor:
Please be advised that all entrances to residence halls will
be secured beginning at Noon on Saturday, March ith. Only
the main entrance of each hall will remain open until 5:00
p.m. ALL STUDENTS will leave the residence halls by that
time.
Residence halls will reopen on Sunday, March 16th begin-
ning at 12:00 Noon.
No one will be permitted in the residence halls during the
vacation period except by special permission from my office.
Enjoy your vacation!
Sincerely,
Stephen W. Zenko
Director of Residence Life
Dear Editor,
If anyone has the address of Ripley's Believe It or Not, t
would certainly appreciate having it.
We've had what I believe to be another record set at DVC!
And, this should be recognized.
Oh, yes, the record. Our College Switchboard Person,
upon noticing a light on the board glowing at 4:20 p.m. on
Tuesday, February 12, 1980 (indicating an individual wanted
to place an outside call) responded with due speed and
dedication to that signal on Wednesday, February 1 3, 1 980,
at 8:35 a.m. - only sixteen hours and fifteen minutes later.
That must be a record. Don't you agree?
Sincerely,
Frank W. Grau
Assistant Chairman
Ornamental Horticulture Dept.
Dear Mr. Grau:
We looked Into this problem and learned that the College
will be Installing a modern telephone system In the near
future. This new system will certainly streamline service for
the individual and will make life easier for our switchboard
operators. Maybe we'll have some new world records for
Telephone Call Speed Placement - such as 2.445 seconds.
Editor
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK (continued)
Dear Editor:
Alt in all, you're just another brick in the wall. As a loyal
student of Delaware Valley College, I am very pleased with
many of the recent events here, especially the actions of one
group in particular - our outstanding student government.
The severe scolding which they unleashed against WAPO.our
so-called campus radio station, just warmed my heart. The
quality of music they play is just awful, although I personally
cannot get enough of it. But, then again, for the sution to be
so uncooperative with distinguished student government
members is another matter completely. I salute their fine
work in handling this delicate situation.
It was even reported that many students were becoming
sick from listening to the music while they were eating in the
dining hall. I can't even begin to imagine the mess this must
have created in the cafeteria. I feel that if the music played
by WAPO continues to cause sickness among the students
here, then the only logical solution would be to ban the
consumption of food on campus - unless, of course, each
student is issued a set of earplugs before entering the dining
hall. To solve this whole thing, I believe that the station
should adopt a more refined musical format and should play
mellow, unexciting music such as that produced by Led
Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Stones, Black Sabbath,
Aerosmith, BOC, Patti Smith, Nazareth, Neil Young and Ted
Nugent, just to name a few. There are just so many to
choose from.
I'm also very glad to see that government didn't allow
Steve Forbert to play here. An up-and-coming recording sUr
such as he would only give the school a bad reputation.
Well, that's about all I have to say. I'm just so glad that
life at DVC (Artificial World) continues to run so smoothly.
I was going to finish this article today, but then I remembered
that we have a whole extra day this month, so I decided to
finish it on February 30th.
A Very Concerned Student
P.S. I'm glad to see the stop signs are working out so well.
The new li^ts on the security vehicles are also very
impressive.
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank Sandy, Jackie, Heather, Alice, Tom
Calvin, Melissa Damast from M.S., Mr. McOelland and all the
dancers plus so many more people who helped make this 5th
Annual Dance Marathon a success. We raised almost $2,000
and we had the best music ever! We also had the most
couples ever to last the marathon — despite the food.
A party was held for everyone who was involved in the
Marathon on February 27th at 8:30 p.m. in the Dining Hall
Lounge. Prizes were given out - including the scholarship
and the dinner(s) to Bentley's, plus a whole lot more.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS!!!
Sincerely,

OLYMPIC GOLD,
A NATION UNITES
by Tom Umrath
There are probably very few people who didn't see the
spectacular performance of the United SUtes hockey team
during the Olympic games. The celebration and unrestrained
patriotism which followed the gold medal victory were of an
unbelievable magnitude, and rightfully so. There was some-
thing more to the victory, however, than the timely defeat of
the Soviet Union. Besides providing us with a tremendous
source of national pride, the hockey team also gave millions
of discouraged people a sense of hope.
In these days government is becoming increasinj^y larger
and more powerful; mechanization and urbanization are
making people as individuals less significant; and the affairs
of our nation and our private lives are being dictated by a
handful of oil companies, bureaucrats, and other such
criminals. It is refreshing and invigorating to know that the
weak underdog, through hard work, toughness, and per-
sistence, can still overcome an intimidating giant.
AN OPINION
by Martha Gehrlnger
Anyone who heard David Toma speak on February 11,
1980, here at DVC would have gained the impression that he
was lecturing free of charge to the College. However, this
paper has since learned that he charged student government
$1,500 for that evening. This Is not meant to discredit Mr.
Toma in any way, since what he is doing is important; but it
does cause one to wonder.
ATTENTION:
Weekend Washers!
The Laundry Room in Ulman Hall will be closed from
Friday, February 29th, 8:00 p.m., until Sunday, March 2nd,
at 8:00 a.m. It will be repainted during this time by the
Christian Fellowship and all washers and dryers will be
disconnected.

WERKISER AND MITCHELL
LEAD AGGIES IN STATS
Second year coach Les Lombardi knew he was in trouble
when senior co-captain Mark Werkiser injured his ankle
shortly before the beginning of the 1979-1980 campaign.
Playing at less than full speed, Mark limped through the first
seven games but still managed to compile some impressive
statistics for the season. The same kind of experience hap-
pened to last year's all M.A.C. and E.C.A.C. All-Star,
co-captain Ken Mitchell. "Mitch" missed three games with a
knee injury and played out the last well below par. Add to
this the loss of the team's leading rebounders and second
leading scorer at mid-term and the Aggies post an overall
5-19 record and 2-11 In the M.A.C.
"Werk" paced the team in scoring with a 14.2 ppg
average while leading the team in field goal F>ercentage at
.556. He was also second in free throw percentage at .847
second to Tom Robinson. Over the course of the 24-game
season, Werk led in rebounding with 164 for 6.8 rebounds
per game. Mitch, who joined the elite 1,000-point club last
year, averaged 1 2.4 ppg shooting .54 from the floor. For four
years at D.V.C., Mitch totalled 1304 points to place fourth
on the all time scoring list. He did his share on the boards
averaging 4.7 rebounds per game.
Other standouts for the Aggies were senior Bill Stanley
who averaged 6.5 rebounds per game and led the team in
blocked shots. Tom Kehoe, who was last year's Most Im-
proved Player, had his ups and downs throughout the season
and averaged 10.9 ppg and 4.5 rebounds. Sophomore point
guard Mark Tymes broke the school record for most assists in
a season. Mark surpassed- the 1 06 assist mark and set the new
school record at 1 26.
As a team, the Aggies shot .459 from the floor and
opponents usually raised their floor percentages at the
expense of the Aggies. Although the opponents averaged
10 poinu more than D.V.C. the difference was 8 points or
less in 1 1 games. The complete statistics are attached.
"Now that the final sutistics are done, the season is
history," comnr>ented head coach Lombardi. "We sure
learned a lot of lessons and now have to start preparing for
next season. I think the preparation will start with recruit-
ing."
MOVIE REVIEW
"BEING THERE"
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: ' Peter Sellers. Shirley MacLalne, Melvyn
Douglas ana Jack Warden
Directed by Hal Ashby Screenplay by
Rating: **** (highest rating) Jerry Kosinski
The slogan for the film Being Tiiere goes like this: "If
getting there is half the fun, then being there must b* ail of
the fun." Absolutely! Hal Ashby 's Being Titere Is, In my
opinion, the funniest and most satirical took at intellectual
American political life ever filmed.
Being There is a film about an air-headed, ihallow-ipinded
gardener named Chance (portrayed superbly by Peter Sellers)
who has never left the home and garden of his employer in
his entire life. Chance's only link to the outer world is
provided by his intense addiction to television. When his
ailing, aged employer passes on, Chance is forced to leave his
home and venture into the world for the first time ever.
Arnr>ed with only a suitcase and a remote control television
switch. Chance embarks on his journey. It is while watching
a television, outside an appliance store window, where Chance
literally bumps into Shirley MacLaine. From that moment
on, the unbelievable becomes believable in Being There.
Chance befriends the wealthiest man in the country, councils
the President of the United States, appears on a "johnny
Carson type" talk show, and becomes the hottest celebrity
in the nation.
Being There is by ail means an exceptional film. Combin-
ing Hal Ashby's (Shampoo, Coming Home) direction of
Jerry Kosinski's humorous script with the brilliant perform-
ances of such veteran actors as Peter Sellers, Shirley Mac-
Laine, Melvyn Douglas, and Jack Warden all add up to make
Being There a total success. Peter Sellers, in his most out-
standing role (excluding the Inspector Clousseau perform-
ances), as the shallow-minded Chance, since his multi-role
performance in "Dr. Strangelove", undertakes a limited range
character such as Chance and fulfills it to the maximum.
Especially in the midst of a presidential election year, a
film such as Being There is just too good to pass up. Go see it,
it's great.
By the way, did you ever stop to think how high Henry
Kissinger's IQ really is?
Awards, awards, awards. It's about this time of year that
everybody gets together and presents their awards of out-
standing achievement for the previous year. Well, look at it
this way - if Broadway can have its Tony awards, and if
Hollywood can have its Oscar awards, then why can't Dela-
ware Valley College throw its hat into the ring of the
prestigious award ceremonies.
Well, folks, rest easy, because this year, for the first time
ever, Delaware Valley College will present their first annual
"Aggie" awards. The "Aggie" award will be broadcast live on
WAPO 640 AM on March 28, with your host Aldo Stolte,
and Leslie Scheffler. Guest presenters include Jane Fonda,
Sun Bronberg, Syd Barret, Al Alberts and Charro.

SALES SEMINAR HELD
AT DEL VAL
At a special seminar conducted In Work Hail Lounge on
Tuesday, February 19th, Mr. J. Howard Foote held a discus-
sion on the topic of Careers in Selling with the members of
the senior class in Business Administration. Mr. Foote is the
past president of Penn Engineering and has had an extensive
career in sales and sales management.
The major emphasis of Mr. Foote's remarks concerned the
rellity that many college graduates find themselves in sales
positions; some by choice, many because of availability in the
.field. According to his experiences, Mr. Foote feels that sales
can be both financially rewarding end fulfilling as a business
career. A good sales person acts as a consultant and teacher
'to clients in satisfying their needs. Sales positions require an
ex'traverted personality, one who likes people and is moti-
vated by challenges.
The Business Administration students and Mr. Foote
engaged in a dialogue as a rapport was quickly developed in
the seminar. Questions and comments ranged from the
subjects of business ethics to the need to qualify the cflent
and "homework" to be done before a salt. The point was
made that the selling field requires a professional commit-
ment Mid hard work of those planning to enter it.

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
Dear Editor:
It is Saturday morning, March 1st. I filled two large
laundry bags with soiled and filthy clothes, picked up my
detergent and bleach, and lugged everything through the
ice-chilled air to the Ulman basement laundry room. What do
I find? Only a couple of ambitious dudes painting the walls.
Now, I realize that the walls needed painting as badly as I
needed an "F" in a course in number line drawing. I also like
the way it was announced after the paint was dry that the
walls were going to be done. Announcements really get
around campus well. Oh - one last thing. Why couldn't they
fix the machines instead of paint the walls?

Dear Dude:
Please refer to Collegian released Friday, February 29,

cold and chilly Saturday.
Editor
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Calvin Coolidge once said, "I think the American
public wants as its president, a solemn ass." This is
evidenced by the New Hampshire primary.
Dear Editor,
On a recent visit to the dairy barns, I noticed a white
horse had taken up residence there. This horse was being
housed in a box stall which normally could hold two heifers.
My question is - whose horse is it, and why is it there? Did
the Lone Ranger decide to abandon Silver here at D.V.C. to
help D.V.C. get started on its horse program? Who is this
masked horse, where did he come from and, most important-
ly, who is paying for his board? Is it the student body or is it
the owner of the horse?
Sincerely,
Anonymous
Dear Anonymous:
We checked into this and learned that a friend of the
College asked to house his pony at the College for a period of
about one month. The owner Is paying for all feed and care.
It is hoped that this could be the beginning of the addition of
some horses on campus to enhance the educational program
in the Animal Husbandry.
Editor
* « *
Dear Editor,
I would like to take this time to thank the student body
of Delaware Valley College, in behalf of the Northeastern
Student Affiliate Division of the American Dairy Science
Association and the National Block and Bridle Club, for their
help in housing the student representatives of our member
chapters, during our recent winter conference. Without the
help of the students our first annual winter conference would
not have been as successful as it was.
Respectfully yours,
Ronald O. Bates
President, N.S.A.D., A.D.S.A & N.B.B.
Dear Editor,
As a female Animal Husbandry student at this College, I
would like to voice an opinion concerning a policy which I
consider to be sex discriminatory. The policy I am referring
to is the employment program.
This policy requires women to seek jobs in fields where
sex discrimination is widespread and - worst of all - legal.
If a woman applies for a job in any industry, government-run
institution, or company, she is guaranteed that they will not
discriminate against her because of sex if all other things are
equal and she can do the job. However, these rules do not
apply to agriculture. If a farmer wants to hire a guy, he won't
care if fifty girls apply; he'll choose a guy. The rationale is
that guys can do more work in a day than girls can.
The point isn't whether or not his opinion is right or
wrong. The point is that all those female applicants must seek
employment elsewhere. I'm sure that plenty of female Animal
Husbandry majors can argue that they are working on farms
and they had no trouble getting their jobs. Well, that's fine
FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK (continued) BLAZE DESTROYS BARN
and dandy for them, but if a policy exists which is definitely
easier for one sex to fulfill than it is for the other sex, then I
would call that policy sex discriminatory. I'm not criticizing
the farmers who won't hire the women. I think that is their
own personal business and no law should deny them the right
to their opinion. This school, however, is a different story.
Here there is a situation where an unfair advantage is being
given to men. Since nrwle and female students pay the same
tuition, it shouldn't be more difficult for female students to
graduate. If the school were to say that male students need
10 less credits to graduate, there would be an uproar, but
nobody seems disturbed by this similar situation.
If a male Animal Husbandry student wants a job on a
farm, all he has to do is make a phone call, drive to the farm,
and he's got a job. A girl, however, can make 50 phone calls,
drive all over the county, and all she ends up with is no job,
a big phone bill, and an empty gas tank.
I'm sure somebody reading this is wondering why, if a girl
can't get a job on a farm, doesn't she get herself some other
job related to her major? Well, that's really quite simple. They
don't exist When applying for any summer job you are
dealing with a limited number of openings. Vou also are
competing with thousands of other college and high school
students seeking summer positions. The majority of jobs
available are toUlly unrelated to Animal Husbandry and those
that do exist are usually filled very quickly. There are jobs
available which relate to Animal Husbandry and engage in
no sex discrimination. The only catch is that these positions
are volunteer. I have nothing against volunteering for a good
cause, but since the staff and faculty here are not willing to
do the same, everyone must pay tuition. A volunteer position
may provide the job necessary to fulfill the requirement, but
there's no need to meet the requirement if you're not going
to school and there is no way to go to school if you don't pay
tuition which can't be paid if you work for free.
Sincerely,
Cathy Ickinge

Vaudeville was featured at this recent DVC appearance.
More than 100 fireman from four companies battled a
blaze at the College's dairy which erupted shortly before
8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 12, 1980. The fire was
under control by 9:30 p.m., but firefi^ters were unable to
save the barn from total destruction.
The barn was used by the College to store hay and feed,
and thanks to students and College personnel on the scene no
cows were injured by the fire. One witness said, "It took ten
minutes to burn down."
The College is saddened that a Jamison man, Alvin H.
Cornell, Sr., 57, who was directing his son in a bulldozing
operation, collapsed and subsequently died. The bulldozing
operation was designed to push hay and debris from the fire
site.
The blaze was so intense that flames could be seen for
miles from the fire scene.

SCHOOL SCORING RECORD
Although the "Lady Hoopers" of Delaware Valley
were only able to salvage a fourth place finish in the South-
east Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference (2-3), their
overall record of 10-5 stands as the best record posted by an
Aggie women's team. Highlighting their season included wins
over Franklin and Marshall, Kings, Albright, and Western
Maryland. Three of those teams qualified for play-off
berths in other conference divisions.
Patti Rissinger, sophomore, topped all Aggie scorers with
183 total points, a personal and school seasonal record.
Rissinger averaged 1 2.2 points per game, shooting 33% from
the floor and 69% from the foul line. Her 18-point perform-
ance against Western Maryland, in the home opener, was her
high game of the season.
Also in double figures for the Aggies, was senior co-
captain Joyce Newswanger. She broke the all-time school
scoring record of 479 points held by Janice Kirk, '78. She
netted 482 points in 45 games, averaging 10.71 per game.
This season Newswanger missed two games due to injuries,
but in 13 outings, she tallied 161 points for a game average
of 11.5.
Brenda Wolfe, a junior, became the third leading scoring
leader in the school's history. She boosted her career total to
411 by pouring in 120 points in 13 games, Wolfe's rebound-
ing and tenacious defense accounted for the Aggies' survival
in all their close games. Wolfe was also honored by the Moose
Lodge #1 284 of Doylestown, as Player of the Month, at their
February luncheon.
Other players who contributed to the Aggie success story
include: Diane Windholz, who led the team in rebounds,
grabbing 82 total. She also tallied 109 points, scoring a career
high of 17, against Drew, in the Aggie's 56-53 win. Windholz
is being honored by the Moose Lodge #1 284 at their March
luncheon as the Unsung Hero.

POWERLIFTING COMES
TODVC
by Jim Bardsley
Have you ever wondered what happened to that dollar
you paid for a Weightlifting Club hoagie?
Thanks to your contributions, the Club is now able to
sponsor an intramural powerlifting tournament in an attempt
to inspire more participation in weightlifting on our campus.
This tournament will consist of six generalized weight classes
ranging from 140 lbs. to "heavy weight" (216 lbs. or more),
and the lifts in the contest will consist of the bench press,
the squat, and the dead lift. The combined weight lifted by
an individual in the three events will represent his total per-
formance in the contest. Prizes will be awarded to first,
second and third place lifters in each weight class. In all, there
are twelve trophies and six engraved medals to be won by
members of the student body.
Don't delay; see Jim in Samuel Hall, Room 215, or John
In Ulman Hall, Room 112, for signing up and learning the
rules and regulations. The tournament will be held on
Thursday, April 24th, at 7:00 p.m. in the Rudley-Neumann
Gymnasium. It is open to all Delaware Valley College
students, and there is no entry fee.

BEEKEEPING SHORT
COURSES 1980
The College will again be offering two special three-day
short courses on beekeeping which are open to both members
of the College community and to the general public. The
courses are designed to benefit the experienced beekeeper as
well as providing enough information and experience to
enable someone to get started in beekeeping. The Spring
course will be held on Saturday, March 29, and Saturday and
Sunday, April 1 2 and 1 3. The Summer course will be held on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 20, 21 and 22.
The course is under the direction of Dr. Berthold who
will be assisted by Mr. Jack Matthenius, the New Jersey
Supervisor of Bee Culture. Some of the topics to be covered
are: Honey Bee Ecology, Beekeeping Equipment, Starting
with Bees, Colony Establishment and Management, Queen
Rearing, Bee Diseases, Honey Processing and Sales, and
Cooking with Honey. Many of the topics covered 'n discus-
sion will also be observed and/or practiced in the DVC Apiary
and Honey House.
In past years, a number of Del Val students and faculty
have taken the course, as well as beekeepers from as far away
as Texas, California, Canada and Venezuela. Further informa-
tion about the course can be obtained from the College
Receptionist, Mrs. Martin, in Lasker Hall, or from Dr.
Berthold, Room 203, Mandell Hall.
A.P.O. USED BOOK
EXCHANGE IS BACK!
(under new management)
Alpha Phi Omega, DVC's only fraternity, is reopening its
used bookstore. The bookstore is designed to provide
students with slightly used books at discount prices.
Students should drop off the used textbooks at the APO
bookstore with the understanding that APO will receive 1 5%
of the actual selling price as a commission. The actual price
of the books is determined by the person wishing to sell
them.
The APO Book Exchange will then be open two weeks at
the beginning of the Fall 1980 semester and each subsequent
semester. If the book is not sold within these two weeks, it
will be returned to the owner. Within four weeks after the
bookstore has opened, the checks or unsold books must be
picked up. If the owner does not return at the end of four
weeks, the books become the property of APO. Provisions
will be made for graduating seniors or transfer students who
will not be returning to DVC to collect their books or check.
The APO Book Exchange Office is located on the second
floor of Segal Hall across from the Pool Hall, and will be
open this semester at the times listed below so that you may
drop off your books. Books are being collected this semester
to be sold in the fall.
APO Book Exchange Hours
Beginning March 24
Mon.-Fri. - 3rd period 11:20 a.m.- 12:10 p.m.
Tues., Wed., Fri. -4th period 12:20 p.m.- 1:10 p.m.

SAVE THE TURF!
by Steve Donahue
It is very easy to pay lip service to all the movements you
hear about today. We have Save the Whales, Seals, etc., but I
think we should save something i little closer to home - the
Turf.
Due to a cold, dry winter coupled with no snow to shield
the ground, the turf on campus has been literally trampled to
death. The soil is frozen now but will be a muddy quagmire
when it thaws. Only nature can repair the damage done so far
but we can prevent further deterioration. Now'sthe time for
all you closet conservationists to put into practice what you
preach and cto something concrete. So take a few extra steps
and stay on the paths so we can have a green campus come
spring.
THE MODERN LITTLE
RED HEN
Once upon a time, there was a little red hen who scratched
about the barnyard until she uncovered some grains of wheat.
She called upon her neighbors and said, "If we plant this
wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?"
"Not I," said the cow.
"Not I," said the duck.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Not I," said the goose.
"Then I will," said the little red hen. And she did. The
wheat grew tall and ripened into golden grain. "Who will
help me reap my wheat?" asked the little red hen.
"Not l,"said the duck.
"Out of my classification," said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority," said the cow.
"I'd lose my image," said the goose.
"Then I will," said the little red hen, and she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread. "Who will help
me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.
"That's not my job," said the cow.
"I've never done that before," said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how," said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only one, that's discrimination," said the
goose.
"Then I will," said the little red hen.
She baked five loaves and held them up for her neighbors
to see.
They all wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But
the little red hen said, "No, I can eat the five loaves myself."
"Unfair!" cried the cow.
"Hard-nosed!" screamed the duck.
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose.
And the pig just grunted. And they painted "Unfair"
signs. And they marched all around shouting obscenities.
When the administration came, they told the little red hen
"You must not be greedy."
"But I worked hard, and I earned the bread," said the
little red hen.
"Exactly," said the administration. "That's the wonderful
free enterprise system. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as
much as they want. But under our system, the productive
workers must share with the idle."
And they lived happily ever after, including the little red
hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful. I am grateful."
But her neighbors wondered why she never again baked
any more bread.
"It's your campus, my friends," said the people who are
trying to take care of it.
"What's the difference if I drive across the grass?" said the
jerk in the Jeep.
"Someone will clean up the litter," said the slob.
"Who cares if we stampede across the remains of the
lawns?" say the herds emerging from buildings.
"Somebody should take care of things around here," say
the multitudes.
"Help, help!" say the people who are trying to care for
the campus and the people who care about the campus.
Everyone in the barnyard has to help us keep the campus
beautiful. And help us continue to improve the campus,
your home, your alma mater, your future image!

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
To the Editor:
You may have been wondering whatever happens to our
business majors once they leave the hallowed halls of D.V.C.
Rumor has it that business majors are "lazy", and that they
major in "Mickey Mouse" courses and athletics. Why, then, is
it that business graduates consistently have a higher rate of
employment in their chosen field than students of any other
major at D.V.C? According to the official report by our
placement office, four out of five recent business graduates
are employed in some aspect of business. These fields include
accounting, marketing, insurance, computer programming,
and different levels of management.
I'd also like to refute the insinuation that business courses
are not as challenging as laboratory-oriented courses. Just ask
any Ag major who has ever taken Economics.
The future for business students is very bright, and they
should be proud of their major and take a more active role in
campus affairs. Needless to say, I'm a business major.
Sincerely,
Cornelia Prundeanu
Dear Editor:
I would like to thank the members of the Christian
Fellowship for volunteering their service to help improve the
appearance of the College laundromat. By this time, I am sure
the "new look" has been noticed. I am certain that the
College community joins me in extending a sincere
"THANKS"!
I would also like to remind the resident students to
notify the Residence Life Office when the machines are not
working properly.
Mrs. Navarre
Dear Editor:
The entire college community joins me in extending our
heartfelt appreciation to alt who helped during the tragic fire
at our Dairy. The admirable and dedicated support of the
Fire Companies, Women's Auxiliary, friends and neighbors of
the College, and particularly the faculty, staff and students,
will always be remembered with great appreciation.

FRUIT & NUT SALE
The Hort. Club will be selling dried f.uits and nuts all this

member in their rooms. Wc have apple shintz, banana chips,
pineapple rings, raisins, sunflower seeds and peanuts. Why
not buy some and have a healthy snack for a change.
BLOODMOBILE HERE
TODAY
The Annual Spring Bloodmobile returns Wednesday, April
2, 1 980. Blood can be donated from 1 0: 30 a.m. to 3: 30 p.m.
in the Rudley-Neumann Gym. Our goal this semester is only
100 pints. Let's be sure to at least make our goal to insure
coverage for the entire student body and their families.
Over Spring break, one of our students was involved in a
serious accident and needed blood. As a result of your
previous generosity, he was able to receive the badly needed
blood from the American Red Cross and it was not necessary
for his family to replace the blood.
On-campus students should sign up with your RA. There
is a sign-up sheet available for off-campus students in Segal
Hall and the Infirmary.
FIRE CONTAINED TO
SINGLE ROOM IN
WORK HALL
A fire broke out at 1 2: 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 22nd,
in Work Hall destroying the contents of a four-man room.
Doylestown and Chalfont fire companies were on the scene
and quickly contained the blaze. Fortunately, there were no
injuries in the emergency, and power and heat were restored
later in the day allowing residents of Work Hall to move back
to their rooms before Saturday evening.
The occupants of the damaged dormitory room (George
Donadi, Paul Joyce, Larry Brown and Robert Rutan) have
been relocated. All of their possessions were completely
destroyed.
There was some smoke and water damage in the area
located directly above the fire location involving the "T"
area of Work Hall. This damage, however, did not disrupt
returning residents. The Bucks County Fire Marshal is still
investigating the cause of the blaze and results were not
available at press time.
The Collegian would like to commend Bruce Bartolucci
who reacted quickly by sounding the fire alarm. His alert
action had the fire company on the scene within minutes.
Others who deserve thanks include Mr. Marron, Area
Coordinator; Chief Pence, and Bill Johnson from security
who were at the scene early and remained there throughout
the day. RA's Fran Zamiskie and Scott Horoff also aided
during the emergency.

"ALL THAT JAZZ "
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: Roy Sche/der, Jessica Lange, Ann Renking,
and Leiand Palmer
Directed by Bob Fosse Rating: ****
Viewing All That Ja// allows the audience the oppor-
tunity to embark on a journey that includes all of the joy, all
of the tears, all of the laughter, all of the pain, and all of the
jazz of choreographer-director Bob Fosse's life.
All That la^z is by far not the traditional American
musical that we have all become accustomed to over the
years. Like director Bob Fosse's previous two film ventures
(Cabaret, Lenny), All That jazz is filled with musical and
cinematic innovations never before visualized on the screen.
All That jazz is about choreographer-director Joe Gideon';
(Roy Scheider) intentional flirt with death. Joe Gideon leads
such a strenuous erratic life style that ultimately leads to a
heart attack. Death, for Gideon, is not a horrible ending but
a romantic fantasy. Having dominated stage, screen, and sex,
ironically, the only thing worth living for to Joe Gideon is,
death.
Roy Scheider's Academy Award nominated performance
as Joe Gideon is, to say the least, dazzling. Scheider truly
turns in the performance of his career. His ability to sing and
dance unleashes a quality never before displayed by the actor.
Bob Fosse's direction as well as cinematographer Giuseppe
Rotunno's (8'/i) camera work make All That Jazz a thrillingly
razor sharp feat of perfection.
All That jazz is certainly as entertaining and flashy as it is
unconventional. Regardless of whether or not the plot of
All That jazz grabs you, the rhythm and sheer energy that
the film projects will keep your feet lapping for weeks.
APOSTERIORI NOW
by Cornelia Prundeanu
On Thursday, April 17th, Delaware Valley College will be

ence will be held from 9:30 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. in the
James Work Gymnasiunn, and coffee and donuts wilt be

A well-written resume can help you get the job you want,
and this conference will show you how to present your
qualifications in the best way possible. The conference
will \k especially useful to seniors who are about to enter
a fiercely competitive job market, but all students who
attend will gain something from this helpful presentation.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE
BARN BLAZE
by Dominic Centome
On Wednesday night, March 12th, at about 8:00 o'clock
p.m., most of us were enjoying our little vacation. But for
those faculty members and students of D.V.C, it was a
different tune. The hay barn at the Dairy was up in flames.
How the fire was started is not known. The hay barn, silo
contents. Dr. Harner's office, the fuel generator and many
tools were destroyed by the intense heat. Fortunately, the
fire company responded promptly or a real catastrophe was
inevitable. If there is any bright side to the story, I guess we
can thank those D.V.C. students, faculty and the fire com-
pany personnel for the good job of getting all the cows out
quickly and to safety.
I feel that there is no reason why such an incident such as
this should occur. If it was set intentionally, then I say that it
was a sick person to do it; and I hope he feels guilty about it
for the rest of his life.

MEN'S BASKETBALL
AWARDS PRESENTED
Although the Lady Aggies have stolen the spotlight
recently in basketball at Delaware Valley, the men presented
their awards at their annual banquet. Senior co-captain Mark
Werkiser was selected by his teammates as the Most Valuable
Player. In a season that started out with an injury, Mark came
on strong to take Moose Player of the Month in January and
the Herb Good Player of the Week presented by the Philadel-
phia Sportswriters at their weekly luncheon early in February.
Mark was also honored by the Moose as the recipient of their
Most Valuable Player award presented by Mr. Ned Linta last
Thursday at a special luncheon for the College seniors in men
and women's basketball and wrestling. In his sophomore year,
Mark was the team's Most Improved Player and last year he
received the Calvin P. Kidder Award for academic and
athletic leadership.

GIRLS' FLOOR HOCKEY
A SUCCESS
by Dwight Bohm
This past week, before spring break, the girls finished up
their floor hockey season with five wild and woolly playoff
games. The first two playoff games got under way Tuesday
night. These two games decided the fourth and final
playoff spot.
The first game matched U.S. and the Flakey Flyers with
the winner meeting AMF later on that night. The Flakey
Flyers took both these games, and won the right to face the
Goal Getters Wednesday night in the semifinals. The Goal
Getters were the only team to boast an undefeated record
throughout the regular season. This team had the league's
leading scorer in Anthea Strong and one of the league's
best defensemen in Debbie Winger. The two teams squared
off and the Goal Getters prevailed, putting them in the
finals Thursday night.
The team they were to play was decided later that night
when S.N.A.F.U. played the girls from Cooke second. This
game was extremely exciting, as anyone who was there might
tell you, and wasn't decided until the last 25 seconds when
Marge Gay scored her tie-breaking, breakaway goal that put
Cooke second into the finals.
The final stage had been set. The first place Goal Getters
against second place Cooke second. The game began at 5:30,
and at the end of the first period the Goal Getters were
winning 2-0. The feeling in the packed stands at Rudley
Neumann Gym was that the Goal Getters were going to run
away with this game just like all the others, bul nobody told
Cooke this. Cooke came out in the second period all fired up.
Sue Leed put Cooke on the scoreboard early in the second
period which was shortly followed by a Goal Getters goal but.
Sue Leed put another goal in the net for Cooke at the end of
the period, leaving the score at 3-2 Goal Getters with one
period remaining.
The third period consisted of fine defense by both teams,
but then with about four minutes left, Sue Leed struck
again; the curly-haired sophomore had been working her
way near the net when she got the puck, and shot it in. The
final four minutes were as exciting as any hockey game that
anyone might see anywhere. Two apparent goals were scored,
but both were denied by good tails by the rcfs.
The third period having ended in a tie, called for a five-
minute overtime, with the first goal being the winning goal.
The period began with the teams playing very cautiously,
but with about two minutes remaining, Marge Gay received
a pass at the blue line, carried it in and drilled it past the
Goal Getters goalie. The place went crazy, putting an end to
an outstanding girls hockey league season.
The winning teams players consisted of Marge Gay, Sue
Leed, Karen Burker, Nancy Bushy, Cathy Miller, |an Newton,
Lisa Graham.
At this time, I would like to thank the refs for the fine
and consistent work throughout the season.

Collegian
Vol. XIII, No. 18
Friday, Aprill 1,1980
NOTICE: The opinions expressed in any individual article do not necessarily reflect the viewpoint of the paper or school.
FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
To the Editor, in response to the letter written by
C. Prundeanu, April 2nd issue of the Collegian.
Dear C. P.:
I feel that your recent letter was an insulting attack on
the Agriculture majors of DVC.
The courses that Business majors take may be somewhat
better than mediocre "Mickey Mouse" courses, but certainly
not more challenging than the courses in the Agricultural
curriculum. Most people can read their text book and get an
"A" or "B" in Economics and Marketing, but, my friend,
life is more than reading books. A doctor can read books all
his life but without the skill acquired by practice and prac-
tical application he is worthless. Laboratories are challenging
ancJ are very important in the learning process and in the
acquisition of many skills.
I'd also like to correct you on a point about the higher
rate of employment for business majors as opposed to agri-
culture majors (especially Dairy and A.H. majors). As a result
of your insinuation I was urged to visit the placement office
where I checked out the percentage rate of placement for
Dairy and Business majors. I averaged the percentages for
1977 through 1979, and my results are as follows: Dairy
majors averaged 90% for job placement in their fields, while
Business majors averaged 78% for job placement. That's quite
a difference compared to your analogy.
You also mentioned various fields available to Business
majors. Well, here are some of ours: Farm owner, managers,
herdsmen, research workers, Vo-Ag teachers, veterinarians,
feed and medical supply salesmen, county extension agents,
A.I. technicians, laboratory technicians and various positions
in dairy and meat processing. These ixt just a few.
A graduate in Dairy Science has a better chance to get a
job than most other agriculture majors. There is a very high
demand nationwide for good qualified people in this area.
We are certainly not a dime-a-dozen major.
To make a further point. Agriculture is one of America's
top business enterprises. Isn't it the man in agriculture who
hires accountants, marketing agents and computer program-
mers? In a sense, one might conclude that you work for us.
I would think that indicates who is at the head of the game.
If it weren't for agriculture, your job placement wouldn't be
half as good.
Needless to say, I am a senior dairy major, a subdivision
of the agricultural industry, and to put it bluntly, I'm
damned proud to be one and I'm grateful to the people who
helped me achieve my goal. By the way, I have a good job
position to go to when I graduate, plus I have also been
offered two others. I think that's pretty good for an
"Ag Major".
Sincerely,
Richard Cox
Dear Editor:
I would like to take this opportunity to comment on the
superb job Harry Chapin did at the recent concert held on
our campus. Mr. Chapin was a pleasure to work with, the
road management were polite, courteous and made no un-
reasonable demands. Mr. Chapin himself put on an excellent
show which generated fantastic audience response. It was, by
far, the smoothest running, most problem-free major event
held on this campus.
This is directly due to the outstanding people who were
part of it all. Please excuse the list form, but I feel everyone
must be recognized: Mrs. Nelson, Dr. Hill, Mr. and Mrs.
Lyford, Mr. Ned Linta, Dr. Gallagher (C.B. East), Dr. Spahr
(C.B. West), Mrs. Dot Sherwood, Mrs. Marie Stough, Mr.
Wilson, Mr. Lou Casernes, Mrs. Roberts, Mr. Marty Stern, the
anonymous people who donated the scaffolding, Mr. Rob
Liebau, Mr. Vic Goffredo, Mr. joe Hartranft, and last but
not least the "Fantastic 25" students who went above and
beyond the call of duty. I would have named them all, but
did not want to miss anyone - so to those "25" an extra
special "thank you."
Mr. Marron

DWIGHT STONES WILL
SPEAK AT DELAWARE
VALLEY COLLEGE
Dwight Stones is one of the world's greatest Irack and
field stars, as well as being one of the most outspoken figures
in sports. A two-time Olympic champion, Dwight is currently
ranked number one in the United States in the high jump,
having maintained this ranking for the past seven years. In
addition, he is currently ranked number three in the world!
He has won an incredible 15 national championships and
he was named "Indoor Athlete of the Year" by Track and
Field News for the years 1975 and 1976, and was pro-
nounced to be the highest ranked high jumper in history,
outdistancing even Russia's great Valeriy Brumel.
Dwight Stones has always shown the charismatic appeal
of a true media personality, and the entertainment industry
responded in 1979 when he was invited to appear on The
Merv Griffin Show, Dinah, The Tonight Show, The Tomor-
row Show, and A.M. Los Angeles. He became a sports
commentator in February of 1979, covering the San Diego
Invitational Track Meet for NCB-TV's Sports World. Proving
to be a successful commentator, he covered the NCAA Track
and Field Championships for ABC-TV in May 1 979, and the
World Cup for ABC-TV's Wide World of Sports this past
August.
Dwight Stones' articulate speech combined with his
fantastic athletic background and his work in the entertain-
ment industry has also resulted in his popularity on the
college lecture circuit. '
Dwight Stones will speak at Delaware Valley College on
Friday, April 18, 1980, beginning at 8:00 p.m. He will
discuss the subject Olympic Boycott in the James Work
Gymnasium. The address will be open to the public and
there is no admission charge. Dwight Stones is currently
training for the 1980 Olympics to be held in Moscow, and
considering his reputation as an outspoken and articulate
speaker, this program should be of interest to sports and
Olympic enthusiasts.
Delaware Valley College is located on Route 202, one
mile west of Doylestown.

SPORTS
BASEBALL OFF TO
2-0 START
Coach Wolfgang and the Aggies of Delaware Valley
College travelled to Reading, Pa., to blank Albright in their
first regular season game 2-0.
Delaware Valley had good, strong pitching from Lenny
Conrad and Jeff Theibault, each giving up only one hit.
The Aggies scored on a solo homerun from junior first
baseman Mark Monroe and good hitting from |ohn Stark,
George Donadi and Rich Dougherty, each having a pair of
hits.
Albright's only threat was in the ninth inning when they
had the bases loaded and one out. Jeff Theibault struck out
the next batter after falling behind in the count 3-0. The final
out was made on an outstanding running catch by Tom
F ranee llo.
On Wednesday the Aggies went on the road again and
defeated host Swarthmore 4-2 for their second consecutive
victory and a 7-2 overall record counting their Florida trip.
Rod Bates went 3 for 4 collecting 2 RSI's with a double and
two singles. Mark Monroe also had 2 RBI's with a single. The
winning pitcher was Jeff Theibault with the save going to
Steve Fornoff.
TANKERSLEY POSTS
DOUBLE WIN
On TuescJay, April 1st, the Delaware Valley College Track
team travelled to Millersville State College for their first meet
of the season and were outmanned 116-28. Individual Aggies
performing well in their first competition were Mark Tanker-
sley, Jeff Robinson, Steve Lilly, Dave Graeff, Gary Walters
and Warren Robertson. Sophomore Mark Tankersley was the
only DVC doublewinner taking both the 110 high hurdles
and 400 intermediates with time of 14.75 and 55.9 respect-
ively. Senior Steve Lilly took a second in the long jump and
third place in both the 100 and 220. Sophomore Dave Graeff
took a second place in the triple jump. Juniors Gary Walters
and Warren Robertson took third place in the shot put and
discus. The 1600-meter relay team of Jim Moran, Chris
Bradley, Jim Loughran and Jeff Robinson nipped the Millers-
ville entry.
CHEERLEADING TRYOUTS
Are you one of the constant complainers about DVC
Cheerleaders? Here is your chance to do something about it.
Spring, when young men's thoughts turn to everything but
books, is the time to select next year's Cheerleading Squad.
Both men and women alike will be selected. If you want
to help out, encourage other people to participate. You can
make someone's day, week or month by saying, "Why don't
you try out for the Cheerleaders?"
On April 11, 1980, at 4:30 p.m. there will be a meeting
of anyone interested in cheering for our 1980 fall season -
men and women alike.
Workouts will begin on Monday, April 14th, through
Friday, April 1 8th, from 4: 30 to 6:00 p.m. Final tryouts will
be held Monday, April 21st, at 7:00 p.m. in the James Work
Gymnasium.
The Cheerleaders will be picked by a panel of judges con-
sisting of the graduating cheerleaders and members of our
faculty and staff. An entire new squad will be selected from
the candidates.
This is your chance as a student of Del Val College to
better our Cheerleading Squad for the new 1 980 season. Try
out and support your athletic teams and school.

AT THE MOVIES
LITTLE MISS IV1ARKER
Review by Steve Saphos
Starring: Walter Matthau, Julie Andrews, Sara Stimson, Bob
Newhart, Tony Curtis, and Lee Grant
Directed and Written by
Walter Bernstein Rating: *** 'A
Q: What do Heaven Can Wait, A Star Is Born, and The Front
Page all have in common? A: They are all recent film remakes
of classic films that have managed to fare just as well as their
predecessors did some forty -odd years ago.
Q: What do King Kong, The Champ, and Lost Horizon all
have in common? A: They are all recent film remakes of
classic films that just shouldn't have been . . . remade.
Well, the fourth remake of Little Miss Marker, fortunately,
deserves a comfortable position among those films listed
above in the first paragraph (tricky, eh?). Walter Bernstein's
new version of the classic Damon Runyon story, set in the
depression era, deals with the plight of a bookie, Sorrowful
Jones (Walter Matthau), being left with a six-year-old girl as a
marker for her father's lost bet.
As demonstrated in films before, such as The Bad News
Bears and Casey's Shadow, Walter Matthau seems to be most
at ease in his acting when he is working with kids. His rapport
with newcomer Sara Stimson (recreating the role that made
Shirley Temple a household name), is by far no exception to
the other films.
Rounding off the remainder of Little Miss Marker are the
talents of Julie Andrews, Bob Newhart, Tony Curtis, Lee
Grant, and the rhythmic thirties-era music of Henry Mancini.
It is, however, interestingly enough, that despite all of the
years of experience and talent centered around a film like
Little Miss Marker, that a six-year-old little girl, just like the
one forty-six years prior to this production, manages to steal
the show.

CHAPIN CONCERT REVIEW
by Tom Umrath
The James Work Gymnasium was filled with the sound of
folk tunes on March 27th as Harry Chapin and his band
poured forth a collection of mellow, easy-listening songs
which delighted a giant crowd of all ages. The concert rolled
into gear with Chapin's hit "Taxi", which was met with such
audience enthusiasm that it was repeated at the end of the
evening.
The crowd of 2,000, which had been gathering at the
doors since six o'clock, was treated to three hours of sing-
along tunes. The five-piece band backing Chapin was well
organized and harmonious. They accompanied their lead well
right through a fabulous encore of the classic "Cat in the
Cradle."
Financially, the concert was a tremendous success as well.
The profits realized from the concert will go to the World
Hunger Organization in Harry Chapin's name. Clearly, school
morale could benefit as well from more performances such
as this.
AN EVENING WITH
HARRY CHAPIN
byJeffMontagnoli
Early Thursday night, March 27th, a small gathering of
people began to appear at the James Work Gymnasium doors.
Soon the crowd grew and grew into a snake-like line, slither-
ing around the DVC campus. What had they come for? What
was the big attraction? It was, of course, the Harry Chapin
concert presented by the Studen; s^overnment here at DVC.
Just about seven o'clock the an'icipating snake was allowed
to fill the seats of the gym.
After a brief intro by Jim Trainer, Chapin and his five-
piece band appeared on stage and were well received. The
band consisted of Harry's brother, Steve Chapin, on piano, a
drummer, two guitars and a lady on the cello.
Harry started off the night with the ever popular hit
"Taxi" and other popular numbers such as "And the Baby
Never Cries" and "A Better Place To Be." After a twenty-
minute intermission and a cooling down of the overheated
gym, the band returned with brother Steve playing a song he
wrote called "Let Time Go Lightly," with the cello accom-
panying him. Harry then took over with "Flowers Are Red",
"Mail Order Annie", and "Bananas", complete with all four
endings and the audience willingly informing him that,
"Harry, it sucks!" (although it really didn't). "Cat's in the
Cradle" was, of course, a popular crowd pleaser. By eleven
o'clock Harry's voice was getting hoarse and he ended the
evening with "All My Life's a Circle."
It was obvious that everyone really enjoyed this evening
with Chapin and his somewhat mellow and moving songs.
Those that liked him before, liked him even more and those
that really didn't know him surely became fans. He gave an
excellent show with a very personal touch through his lyrics
and stories, which came from his heart.
Thanks go out to the Student Government and everyone
who helped make the evening a great success. The audience
was great in their cooperation in obeying the No Smoking
rules and being on excellent behavior. Their support in filling
the chairs on the gym floor and packing the "cheap seats"
made it possible for the Student Government to make a
donation to the National Hunger Fund in Harry's name. A
special "thanks" to Harry Chapin also. Let's hope this is the
beginning of many more "Evenings in Concert" at DVC.
BIRTH OF A CONCERT
by Martha Gehringer
A concert takes more to put together than most people
realize. Many think it is a simple matter of booking the per-
former, setting things up, and maybe doing a little publicity.
To get Harry Chapin here. Student Government had to do
more than that. The Harry Chapin concert began to be
planned back before Christmas break when the question-
naires were handed out in the Dining Hall lobby.
After Christmas the contract with Harry Chapin had to be
acquired and approved. Then, the publicity push began.
Flyers were put out in a 25-mile radius of the school; radio
and newspaper ads were begun, and the students felt the
publicity on campus. Ticket sales were set up in the cafe,
and nine routes were planned for delivering posters.
There was extensive planning put into the night of the
concert. Harry Chapin's contract was very demanding and a
lot of supplies had to be obtained to fill it. Everything had to
be planned ahead of lime in order for the night of the concert
to go as smooth as it did.
Friday before the concert all the planning began to take
shape. The stage and stage equipment was picked up and
started to put together. The biggest push came on the day of
the concert. At 7:00 a.m. the chairs were picked up and the
gym started to be prepared. The stage had to be put in place
and all the stage equipment placed in its proper place, all 600
chairs placed in their positions on the gym floor, and the 3
dressing rooms prepared.
Next, Harry Chapin's crew came with a semi-trailer and all
their equipment and instruments. These things also had to be
placed in the right space.
After the set-up was complete, it was time for the concert
to begin, and after the concert was over the tear-down began
as soon as the people were gone. The borrowed equipment
had to be returned and the gym returned to normal.
Chip Cowher and Jim Trainer were mainly in charge of
the concert planning. Two people alone could not take care
of an entire concert, so different people were in charge of
different things. There was a lot of team work involved in
this project, but overlooking it all was Mr. Marron, making
sure the ends were all tied together.
The hours involved are immeasurable. About 20 students
worked to get things set up; some were not even members of
Student Government. Harry Chapin's performance was com-
mendable, but nothing compared to Student Government's.
It was a hard job, well done. Thanks, Government!
DORMITORY LIFE AND
COMMON SENSE
Published by:
Public Relations Office
by Martha Gehringer
After the recent fire in Work Hall, many people are asking
just what is legal and what is illegal. Illegal items are cooking
or heating appliances, multiple sockets, candles or any flam-
mable or burning material, weights and dart boards, refrigera-
tors not approved by the College, and air-conditioners. It is
true that all these items have been approved as safe by the
manufacturer, but the electrical system in the dorms would
not be able to support all these things. What it basically
comes down to is common sense. Use it right and there
should be no problem.

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT
by Rick Lewis
Published at the request of a friend of mine, the article
entitled "A Day Truly Forgotten" may conuin some ideas
which are very importafit to many people; however, I must
disagree with its context. The government of the United
States of America was founded under several precepts, one of
• which is the separation of church and state. Although part of
the Pledge of Allegiance contains the phrase, "one nation,
under God," and every one of our currency pieces shows the
sentence, "In God we trust," it should not be construed that
the Houses of Congress should spend their time preparing and
approving such documents as that. The Government is NOT a
' vehicle of the church, and I am truly disappointed with those
Congressmen and Senators who allowed such a resolution
that is so irrelevant to the business of Government to travel
the entire way through the legislative process when numerous
potentially valuable bills go literally untouched due to a
"lack of time". Neither mine nor anyone else's religious
beliefs should be so reflected in any document of our
, Government.
Dear Editor,
"AT THE DAIRY"
On March 29, 1980, DVC's Ayrshire herd was officially
classified by an Ayrshire Breed Association classifier. The
results were: one excellent (90 pts.), 5 very good (87-88 pts.),
2 good plus (84 pts.).
DVC AIbi Polka is the College's first excellent (90 pts.)
Ayrshire. She also has a high production record at 4yrs.,5
mos., in 342 days of 21,164 lb. of milk, 13.8% fat and 799
lb. fat.
Special thanks goes to our herdsmen, Carl Oxenrider and
Dave Bradley, and several students for helping prepare the
animals for classification.
Sincerely,
Dr. lames Harner
Supt. of Dairy
Dear Editor:
I am a firm believer in the idea that the "college experi-
ence" ought to be more than just a matter of attending
classes and passing examinations. With that in mind, I've been
disappointed to see the low level of student support some of
our traditional student organizations (including Student
Government!) have garnered on our campus. Not being a
slave to tradition I've wraclwd my brain to Uy to think of
new, nontraditional student organizations that might win a
greater level of support. I've tried to look at what students
are doing and think of ways of organizing that youthful
energy to meet common interests. I believe we have an
enormous reservoir of grassroots support for an "I don't
give a damn" club. Such a club could offer something special
for a number of members of our present student body. For
example:
1. Those who refuse to walk on pathways but find it
more gratifying to trample lawns;
2. Those who leave doors and windows open on cold
days, presumably to see whether or not we can heat
the whole outdoors;
3. Those who throw beer bottles and assorted other
garbage out of windows (sometimes while the windows
are still closed);
4. Those who believe lawn areas on our campus are main-
tained for the expressed purpose of turf surfing;
5. Those who find it is easier to cut pages out of a
Library book for future reference than it is to photo-
copy them.
Think of the possibilities! There could be littering con-
tests, prizes for the room able to attract the largest roach
infesution, cries of "Surf's Up!" on the baseball field, and
soon!
Seriously, folks, this is your campus. For many of you it
is, literally, your home-away-from-home. And I know many
of you think it ought to be nicer than it is. But it won't get
that way unless we all pitch in and think about how we, as
individuals, are willing to behave with respect to it. We can
make DVC a more pleasant place to live! But, if the Main-
tenance, Residence Life, and Campus Maintenance Depart-
ments have to spend all of their time patching up damage,
they have little, if any, time or resources to put toward
improving the situation. Think about it! You are paying for
that repair service! And that repair gets more and more
expensive all the time. The College has limited resources.
Would you rather see those resources put into patching lawns
or buying books for the Library? Is it better to spend money
on trash pick-up or on band uniforms? Think about it! Maybe
the next time you see somebody cutting across a patch of
lawn you ought to tell him where it's at: "Hey, bud! Get off
my lawn!"
Sincerely,
Dr. Mertz
Dear Editor,
I am a male, and I live in one of DVC's not-so-plush
dormitories. Up til now I've had no gripes about the people
that I live with in the dorm; but now I have a gripe.
It appears that throughout the dorms a recent rash of
stealing has l>ecn going on. I have not been robbed, but a few
of my friends have, and being a member of the Collegian
staff, I think I will point out what I feel about this stealing.
Over Easter break a friend of mine had his room broken
into. He and his roommate both had various records stolen.
I've heard of school rings, cameras and even up to $200 being
stolen rif^t out of people's rooms. After all this, I think it's'
time to warn people. Keep an eye on all personal belongings.
Also lock your doors whenever possible. This is the most
inviting situation for the robbers. As I sit here writing this,
I've heard of a moped being stolen -^ so you see this has to be
stopped.
The school is aware of the problem, and will take stiff and
appropriate action when someone is caught, but as for now,
I know if someone catches you stealing out of their room,
you're probably in for trouble.

INTERVIEW CONFERENCE
A SUCCESS
by Cornelia Prundeanu
Last Wednesday evening, approximately 30 students
attended an interview and resume conference in Goldman
Hall. The guest speakers at the seminar were Laura Clack,
personnal administrator for Cartex Co., and Eleanor Harding,
personnel manager for Wilson and Sons Pump Co.
All students in attendance picked up a lot of useful infor-
mation, which will surely help them, come job hunting time.
The speakers stressed the importance of doing research before
every interview, taking as many interviews as you can (prac-
tice makes perfect), and making a follow-up phone call after
each interview. Some more lips that were given are: write a
thank-you note after every interview; give a range rather than
a figure when asked about salary requirements; and get a
commitment from the interviewer about when you will be
hearing from them.
Special thanks go to the two guest speakers, as well as
Mr. West, who chaired the conference, and Hank Fox, BAS
president, who was responsitrfe for organizing the conference.

responded the most to the Paul Bunyon Suite. During this
selection, Don Zucker, portraying Paul Bunyon and wielding
an axe, introduced each part
The music was selected from such noted composers as
George Gershwin and Paul Dukas. The performance went well
as the quintet was well organised and harmonious. The next
appearance of the Brass Ring will be at the Doylestown Folk
Festival, May 10th.

think of what runs through the minds of the folks at home.
If they aren't shocked by the grades ("My gosh, Martha,
Junior finally got a C"), they are stymied by our lingo.

KEEP TUNED TO WAPO FOR THE
SECOND ANNUAL BEST OF WAPO WEEKEND
APRIL 26-27
DID YOU KNOW?
by Dwight Bohm
^sume you start the year with four pairs of mice. Assume
that mice produce young 60 days after birth and every 60
days after that. After one year, you have 15,625 pairs of
31 ,250 individual mice. Six months more at this rate and the
number reaches nearly four million. Four million mice
stretched nose to tail (say 7" per moust) works out to be
450 sutute miles, which is as far as frcMn Mfred, New York,
to Washington, D.C., via Salem, W.Va. (give or take a mouse
or two).
In the 1 880's, the U.S. Ambassador to China returned to
the U.S. from China with 28 Chinese pheasants, known to us
today as the pheasant Eleven years later the first hunting
season was held for these birds. 500,000 were killed. These
birds can really reprochjce.
Studies of ear-tagged bears taken by hunters in New York
state have revealed an amazing ability of the animals to put
on weight - as much as two to four pounck a day during the
summer. One bear pined 92 lbs. In a 24-day period, and he
wasn't even In a feedlot The farmers would sure love to
know how that works.
in last week's Did You Know, It was printed that the
largest whitetail buck ever killed weighed 705 lbs. This,
unfortunately, b not true - the actual weight was 405 lbs.

ALBRIGHT TRIANGULAR
UM Thursday, the Delaware Valley College Track team
defeated host Albright 55Vi-33H but lost to Susquehanna
91-55H. Mark Tankersley was the only double-winner for the
Aggies, Uking the high and intermediate hurdles. Two other
DVC men garnered first places with Jim Parsons winning the
mile run and Gary Walters Uking the shot put competition.
Sprinter Steve Lilly took two second places in the 100- and
220-yard dashes. The javelin was the only event where DVC
took a first and second place with Bill Colenun and Warren
Robertson. The split now puts the track record at 4-2. This
season's last regularly scheduled home meet was on Wednes-
day with the Aggies hosting Urslnus and Haverford.

Atlantic Conference Championship Match.

Only one win
Coach Frank Wolfgang attributes the slide of his team's
performance this week to poor pitching and errors. The Aggies
lost two consecutive doubleheaders and split one this week.
On Wednesday a powerful Upsala team demonstrated why
they are undefeated and overpowered the Aggies 13-3 and
8-6. On Saturday the "Colonels" of Wilkes riddled the Aggie
pitching 7-2 and 10-2. And finally on Sunday at F.D.U.-
Madison, the Aggies split, losing 10-9 and winning 8-S. The
disastrous week puts the overall record at 12-10 and 7-8,
excluding the pre-season trip.
The Aggies played at Muhlenberg on Wednesday and a
make-up doubleheader at Susquehanna today.
SOFTBALL DROPS TWO

Last Friday the Lady Aggies travelled to Holy Family and
lost a frustrating game 8-7. Earlier in the week the Lady
Aggies lost to a powerful Widener team 1 2-9. The overall

on Tuesday and travel to Moravian today.

Dear Editor:
On Sunday, April 13th, the Chorale performed at Wash-
ington's Crossing. The Recorder Consort, comprised of
students and faculty members, traveled with us. Several
American folk songs were Included in the ^ogram. After the
concert we all got together at a member's house for refresh-
nrwnts. We perform next on A-Day, and then that evening at
the Solebury Farmers' Club. This is always one of our
favorite places because the audience is so friendly, and the
covered dish buffet is so good!
If you enjoy singing, and have ever conddered joining the
Chorale, we are a small group, and could use your voice. We
do several performances a year: a Christmas Concert with the
Band, Mercer Museum, Founders' Day, A-Day, and the
Farmers' Club. In the past we have also sung at Pine Run,
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Our Lady of Czestochowa, and
have done a Spring Concert. A picnic is usually held in the
Fall, and a banquet in the spring. Plans to go on tour are
being made for next year. Won't you please Join us on A-Day,
Saturday, at 1 :00 o'clock.

FROM THE
EDITOR'S
DESK
Dear Editor,
On this past A-Day weekend, we were supposedly enter-
tained by WAPO; however, their attitude toward the rights of
others wasn't very entertaining. Now, don't get me wrong. I
think a concert was a good idea, but disregarding rights of
others wasn't. For a couple of examples:
1. Friday night, about 12:00 midnight, a young lady called
up WAPO and asked them to turn it down because she
had to show the next morning. Instead of turning it down,
they cranked it up till 2:00 a.m. (which wasn't right).
2. At about 8:00 p.m. on Saturday night, some jerk comes
on and says, "Due to circumstances beyond your control
we will continue to play. "-Jjyho the heH is he?! There are
a lot of people on campus vdio wanted the music turned
down. In fact, I believe, a majority. I enjoy rock 'n' roll,
but my sanity is more precious than the pounding beat of
rock at 1:00 a.m. in the morning.
Therefore, I think that before another "concert" is broad-
cast, a set of rules should be made to respect the rights of
others. After all, you D.J.'s who blasted the music Into the
night wouldn't want someone to pound on your door while
you were trying to sleep the next morning, would you? All in
all, a little more common courtesy could have been shown to
the whole student body.
Signed,
Tired and Deafened
Editor's note:
I wholeheartedly agree with this analysis. Also, WAPO
became terribly obnoxious during A-Day festivities, with the
general public to witness.
A one- or two-hour concert (for the students) should not
be objectionable, provided it is well publicized so that those
who don't want to be disturbed may go elsewhere or know
that it will be over in a couple of hours. An entire weekend,
saturated with someone else's poor taste in music being
blared over the entire campus, Is something for which WAPO
should hang their heads in shame.

Dear Editor,
In reference to yours and C.P.'s articles:
I have found that this dispute between Ag and Business
Majors is a big thing on this campus. Because of it, there are
many uneasy feelings between people. I believe that our
school newspaper shouldn't antagonize the issue.
Also, what gives you the idea you're ahead of the game?
Are you insinuating that you're better than they are (Business
Majors)? I'm sorry, my friend, haven't you read the Bible
lately:
"ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL"
- Meaning, no one is better than anyone else; we are here
to help each other grow.
God Bless You
Editor's note:
Oh, my God!
We try to print all letters that are fit to print. I am dis-
appointed that we haven't heard anything from the Chem
and Bio Majors yet on this subject.
Rick Lewis
To the Editor, in response to the letter written by Richard
Cox, in your April 1 1 th issue.
Mr. Cox,
I feel that your letter of April 1 1th was in bad taste and
was based on several "misconceptions" on your part.
The letter by Cornelia Prundeanu was intended as a
morale booster for the general population of Business majors
who continually suffer harassment concerning the lack of
difficulty in the Business curriculum. It was NEVER intended
to be insulting to anyone.
In regard to your statement about being able to pass an
Economics course with an A or B by just reading the book, I
challenge you or anyone to pass any course, in any major, by
just reading the book. You mention the importance of experi-
ence; I think it is understood that experience is just as
important as book-learning, if not more so. That's why this
school requires that all students complete an employment
program, to glean the benefits of on-the-job experience.
As you noted. Lab skills must be practiced to be learned,
just as Business skills must be practiced. The difference is
that the majority of Business skills can be practiced in the
mind, whereas just the opposite is true for Lab type skills.
Those Business skills that require Lab practice are set up that
way. That's right. Marketing Research and Management
Information systems are Lab courses and are mandatory for
all Business majors.
Concerning your remark about "being at the head of the
game", in your attempt to prove the subservience of Business
majors on the Farming industry, you have proved just the
contrary. Business majors provide expertise in Marketing,
Accounting, Programming, and many, many other areas . . .
areas most farmers know little or nothing about. Therefore, I
must insist that it is you who needs us, and not the other
way around!
I hope this letter has cleared up any misconceptions you
have concerning C.P.'s letter of two weeks ago. Also, let's not
forget that we all have a common goal - to get an education
and to utilize that education toward the improvement of our
lives.
Sincerely,
Michael Manno

Dear Editor:
On Missing a Friend —
I will remember for some time to come the sadness and
shock on hearing of George Moran's stroke. I waited anxious-
ly to hear of his recovery; thinking that this probably would
be a slow and tedious process. Then the subsequent shock of
reading of George's death in the local newspaper.
My heart reaches out to his family, whom I am sure will
miss him dreadfully! His beautiful disposition would have to
be missed!
My co-workers and I, here at the College, feel that George
Moran was a real gentleman, who helped each and every one
of us as the need arose. He was a gentle, humorous and loving
man.
We have lost a dear friend and associate; and one who,
I'm afraid, cannot be replaced.

Dear Editor:
(In response to recent letters to Editor by C. Prundeanu and
R. Cox.)
judging from letters recently published in this newspaper,
one may conclude that beneath the seemingly calm facade of
student relations there boils a bitter and intense rivalry be-
tween students of the various majors. The recent statements
by Miss Prundeanu and Mr. Cox over which major is best are
reminiscent of the insecure "loudmouths" who boast, "My
Dad is better than your dad," in the sixth grade.
Personally, I can't find any justice in choosing a major on
the basis of past records of alumni. I thought that one chose
his/her major on the basis of personal self interest. If that is
the case, then isn't each individual entitled to study which-
ever field he desires, without having to justify that decision
to the world? After all, we should not measure ourselves by
what major we study or group we belong to, but rather by
what kind of people we are individually.
Doubtless, in every major there are bound to be success-
ful individuals and also failures in every graduating class.
Should we not spend our time here enriching ourselves both
mentally and morally to prepare ourselves for the world
beyond graduation? There is no way any school in the world
can decide what is best for you. That is your responsibility
to yourself. Hopefully, your chosen major will supplement
your personal self interest and, if it does, your time at DVC
will not be wasted.
Let's forget the boastfulness. You don't have to prove
anything to anyone except yourself. Agriculture and business
are among the greatest professions in America. We are all
proud of our majors if we are proud of ourselves.
P.S.
Sincerely,
Mark Goodson
You're both wrong — Agronomy is the best major.
To Students, Faculty and Administration:
With the school year coming to a rapid close, and this
being our last issue of the semester, I wish to express my
gratitude to those who have helped me with the Collegian
throughout the past two years. I would like to believe that
we have helped to establish a new peak in the credibility,
responsibility, and integrity of the campus' student news-
paper.
We have not gone without our hardships through this
period, but those we encountered were faced head-on and
resolved to the best of our means. We have also not gone
without our moments of joy, but joy is fleeting, and work
had to continue if more joy was to be felt.
I have very much enjoyed serving as Editor of the paper,
as well as being a DVC student during this time, and feel a
sense of fulfillment that I believe few people get to experi-
ence at this stage of life. My special thanks go to Dr. Ziemer
and Mr. McClelland for their fine advice, but extra special
thanks go to all of the students who read our publication
regularly.
Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to
wish the very best of luck to all of the members of the Class
of '80 in their future endeavors. It is hoped that we can leave
a little bit of ourselves behind and take a little bit of DVC
with us, as together we are an unbeatable team.
Very sincerely,
Richard E. Lewis '80

CAREER CONFERENCE
HELD AT DEL VAL
by Cornelia Prundeanu
On April 17th, from 9:30 to 1 1:30a.m., the )amesWork
Gymnasium was the scene of Delaware Valley College's ninth
annual career conference. The conference was sponsored by
the College's Business Administration Department and fea-
tured speakers from such diverse fields as real estate, banking,
insurance and data processing. A total of IS careers were
represented.
Approximately 100 students, including students from
Central Bucks West and Archbishop Wood School for Girls,
attended the conference, it was set up so that students could
hear the business people explain the main aspects of their
choseh profession and also speak informally with the repre-
sentatives of the careers that interested them mosL
Following the conference, faculty members from the DVC
Business Department, the career representatives, and students
from the Business Administration Society had a luncheon in
the faculty lounge of the David Levin Dining Hall. James
McFadden, managing editor of The Daily Intelligencer, was
the guest speaker. Mr. McFadden spoke about the business
aspects of communications and public relations, and the
increasing importance of these two areas to business people.
The career conference was an excellent opportunity for
students to learn about a variety of business careers, and for
people from the outside to become acquainted with Delaware
Valley College.

A-DAY RECOLLECTIONS
by Tom Umrath
Despite miserable weather conditions, A-Day went on
with Its usual success. A good crowd braved a raw, drizzly
weekend to observe the many competitions, demonstrations,
and exhibits which had been in the preparation stages for
many months. As is traditional by now, the campus was once
again covered with bright tents vending enormous quantities
of food, the College's prize animals were on display on the
front lawn, and streams of curious people made their way
from building to building.
Once again, A-Day turned out to be a great weekend of
relaxation, fun, and partying for all. The cleanup took place
in rain and colc^ also, as (kdicated students took to the task
of putting away everything for next year. Now all that
remains is a tattered, trampled campus, and a new crop of
plans for next time.
Chip Cowher holds lottery tickets as Ed Kulp draws his
number. Bill Bippus waits to record lottery number.
LOTTERY OR NOT . . .
The general concensus among students during the recently
initiated lottery-type room reservation was deemed highly
successful. The Collegian would like to thank the Resident
Life Office and the RA's who ran the selection with very
little inconvenience to the students and a fair process of
selecting the rooms.

SHARON CHAMBERLIN &
PATTI McKEOWN TO GO
TO NATIONALS
by Carolyn Corkey
Sharon Chamberlin and Paiti McKeown are currently very
popular among the members of the Equestrian Team because
they have accomplished something that not too many team
members have or will accomplish. They are going to Nationals
which will be held in New York at Stoneybrook Farm on
May 3rd.
Qualifying for Nationals is not a very easy task. First, you
must earn at least 28 points by riding in local ISHA horse
shows which are sponsored by other colleges. If the 28 points
are earned, you then ride in regionals against the best riders
in the region. If you place first or second in regionals, you
qualify to go to Nationals to compete against the best in the
country.
Sharon Chamberlin, a senior, took a first place in novice
on the flat. Sharon is one of the team's best riders, earning 1 2
first, 5 seconds, 1 third and 3 fourths in her one year on the
team. She also won the title of HigR Point Rider twice.
Patti McKeown, a freshman, won a first place riding in
advanced walk, trot, canter. Patti, who is also a very con-
sistent rider, has won 3 firsts, 3 seconds and 2 thirds. Kathy
Sucharski and Laurie Jackson also went to regionals.
The best of luck to Sharon and Patti on May 3rd!!
SENIOR PROFILES by Martha Cehnnger
Editor's Note: The Seniors have accomplished a great deal in their four years here. We would like to recognize some of them in
this Senior Spotlight.
LINDA BUDREWICZ
Who was that running by?
Linda Budrewicz, better known as Linda Bud, can be seen just about anywhere on campus,
usually. This year Linda is a senior and upon graduation she plans to enter vet school, and
eventually practice large animal medicine.
While here at college, Linda partook of many activities, some of which were Apiary Club, band,
block and bridle, social house for four years. Dairy Society secretary, Captain field hockey, and
DTA. To her, her greatest achievement during her college career has been gettirig to know a lot of
people and learning to think.
Linda has never regretted coming to DVC, for she feels that any school is what you make It.
Linda certainly has contributed much to DVC in the last four years.
With graduation coming her feelings on leaving are mixed. She can't wait to leave wfwn the
work is piling up. Yet it will be difficult to leave the friends she has met Still, she is looking for-
ward to graduation, for it will bring something different to do and a new challenge.
LYNN HAGERMAN
The girl with the smile describes Lynn Hagerman very well. Lynn is u«ially smiling, which
could be because she likes it here at DVC. She finds the faculty-student relation (at least in the
An. Hus. Department) is very good and the student body overall is very friendly. Furthermore,
the small campus is very appealing.
During her stay here at DVC, Lynn has been involved with many clubs and has been a class
officer for four years. When Lynn isn't busy with studies and activities, she enjoys such things as
animals, cake decorating, flower arranging, guitar playing and intramural sports.
Presently, she works on a dairy farm and plans to continue there for a time after graduation.
She would like to get into research sometime and maybe raise some sheep.
As a farewell to everyone, she has this comment: She feels that for people to enjoy college it is
a "plus" to be involved in outside activities. They make college more worthwhile.
MARY ETTA BARTLETT
Maryetta Bartlett is an extremely talented and dedicated individual in the field of fioriculture.
Her talent has brought her the District 3-B FTD scholarship and first prize in the Student Fall
Design.
This is Maryetta's last year at DVC. During the past four years she has been active in the OH
Club. She has served as co-chairman and chairman of the Flower Show, vice president and
president of the Floral Society, public officer for DTA, ICC representative, and on the A-Day
Committee in charge of Awards. Maryetta has also participated in the flower exhibit and intra-
mural sports. She was honored this year by being named to Who's Who among Students in
American Universities and Colleges. Maryetta likes it here at DVC. One reason for this is her
experience with the people in Floriculture since they are all great to work with. Also, Maryetta
feels DVC gives the students a good background and a chance to show their ability through A-Day.
When asked of her thoughts on graduation, she said she is ready to go out in the working world.
., Of course, she will miss the people here, but she is tired of studying. After graduation, she plans to
- mm work in her ()arents' florist shop and greenhouse full-time.
Maryetta would like to thank all the people she has worked with and under the last four years, with a special thanks to her
professors for all their helpfulness and understanding.
NANCY WENGER
Nancy Wenger is perhaps one of the best known members of this year's graduating class, and
with just reason. Over the past four years she has been involved in a great deal. She has been a
member of the Equestrian Team for the last two years, treasurer of Block and Bridle last year,
DTA vice president, sophomore class secretary, junior class and senior class President, N.E. Student
Affiliate of Animal and Dairy Science Treasurer.
Looking back over the last four years, her greatest achievement has been lasting that long.
Looking forward to the future she would like to become a Vo-Ag teacher or get into farming. One
of the highlights of her college career has been receiving the American Society of Animal Sciences
scholarship when she was a sophomore and again when she was a senior.
Nancy has mixed emotions about leaving. She has enjoyed it here and will miss her friends, but
she is also excited about starting something new.
in closing, she would like to say thanks to the Animal Science Department because she feels
they gave her the best education possible.
BHH RICK LEWIS
|H^M^ Rick Lewis is mild-mannered and full of ideas. He is one of the three chemistry majors
Hl^^ j graduating this year. After graduation he plans to go to the University of Delaware where he has
been accepted for an advanced degree, Ph D. in Chemistry. There he has also been granted a
teaching assistantship. In the future, he seeks a research management position, but pursuit of a
political office is a definite possibility and not out of the question.
While at college, his activities have included Block and Bridle as a freshman, Chem Club
sophomore, junior and senior years. Editor of the Collegian junior and senior years, and AIBS
senior year. This year he was the announcer at A-Day. Also, he was honored this year by being
named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges and to the National
Register of Outstanding College Graduates.
At the present time he is employed by the college as a Computer Room Supervisor. He
developed the security system for the school's computer network as well as developing adminis-
trative programs.
When he isn't busy with the computer or his courses, he enjoys photography and lists as his
greatest achievement, going through college.
Rick relishes leadership positions and has an underlying desire to be in control. When in control, he is fair and consistent in
his policies. He likes to consider himself diplomatic and an able negotiator. At times, he will procrastinate but it is usually in
personal matters.
Rick likes what DVC stands for and feels it is a very interesting philosophy in itself. After graduation he intends to be an
active Alumnus. While here, he found the small class sizes enabled an intimate relation with faculty members to develop and
this is a definite plus to the educational process. He feels the chemistry program should be a 5-year major as opposed to four
years, and the admission standards should be raised. Rick also believes the athletic programs should be cut back to intramural
rather than intercollegiate, since there are no physical education majors. This would allow more money for academic facilities.
Rick thinks a one-credit journalism course should be offered to aid in the publication program. Although he has never lived in a
dorm, he feels the dorms should be modernized to make them a more appealing place to reside.
The most fun experience he has had has been living in Key West, Florida, for eight months; and the most fulfilling experience
has been going to college here at DVC.
SO LONG!
Well, Seniors, it's that time - time to say "So long!" It's been good knowing you through the good times and the bad times.
But now's the time to say so long! Remember us at DVC when you're out in the world, and stop in to visit if you have the
time.
But now's the time to say so long! It's been fun knowing you, and learning from you. The times were great and not to be
forgotten.
But now's the time to say so long, not good-bye, for one never knows where our paths will lead and with a little hope, a little
faith, and a little luck our paths will meet again.
So, so long for now. It's been fun.
DVC DRAMA CLUB
On Monday, May 5th, a meeting was held for those
interested in becoming members of the Drama Club next fall.
The Drama Club has been in existence for several years and
would like to become a more involved organization. The club
would not only pijt on productions, but it would also take
trips to Philadelphia to see professional productions and
would even perform at other schools.
To achieve these goals, we need students who are
interested in acting, designing and building sets, scenery,
costumes, make-up and things such as publicity. If you think
you might be even slightly interested in any form of
participation, contact Dolores Donlon, Barness 114, or
Mr. Gavin. Your support will be appreciated.

SENIOR SPECIAL SEMINAR
ON INTERNATIONAL
TRADE
On Thursday, April 22nd, the Business Administration
seniors attended a special seminar on international trade. The
guest speaker was Mr. Fred Prozzillo of EMGE Aviation and
Marine Products, Langhorne, Pa.
Mr. Prozzillo spoke on the challenges of the international
market to a firm in the safety and survival equipment field.
He related several case histories to demonstrate the need for
flexibility and a sound reputation for fair dealing in this
complex marketplace. Much of the discussion pertained to
the financial aspects of selling abroad, specifically the use of
letters of credit. Mr. Prozzillo brought with him several of
EMGE's products so that the students would have a better
concept of the variety of goods beingsold.
DID YOU KNOW?
by Dwight Bohm
- Did you know that the sable, the world's most prized
furbearer, has been brought back from near extinction? The
pelt of one sable, about the size of a muskrat, sells for up to
$300 today. A sable coat costs between 10 and 20 thousand
dollars.
- Did you know that the government has been spending
millions of dollars draining prime waterfowl habitat so
farmers can grow crops? The Dept. of Agriculture then buys
the crops from them. The government also pays farmers not
to grow crops. In 1971 we paid farmers more than 2.75
billion dollars to idle 37 million acres of surplus cropland.
Where does the stupidity end?
Now the U.S. is contemplating draining its last remaining
breeding grounds (the Stark Weather Project) in North
Dakota. The U.S. has got to find a better way of directing
its funds and ideas.
- Did >you know that once a carp is caught on a certain
bait, it will not feed on the bait for many months to follow,
even if it means death?

OUR MAN
IN WASHINGTON
Frank W. Grau, Chairman of the Ornamenul Horticulture
Department, attended two important conferences this
summer in Washington, D.C. They included the American
Institute of Floral Designers Symposium and the 96th Con-
vention of the Society of American Florists.
During these two meetings word was spread about the
Ornamental Horticulture program here at Delaware Valley
College, and according to Mr. Grau, many professionals in the
O.H. field expressed interest in the College and its students.
Perhaps the highlight of the trip was the opportunity for
Mr. Grau to meet the President and Mrs. Carter at the White
House and to assist in some of the floral designs that were to
be used by the White House the following day.
The White House was interested enough in Mr. Grau's
talent as a floral designer that they have invited him back
during the Christmas Season to help with the 1980 White
House Christmas Decoration Projects.
CHANGE IN ATTENDANCE
POLICY
A significant change in the College attendance policy will
take effect this September. The new policy, which is in your
Student Handbook, is as follows:
"Regular attendance at all scheduled class periods,
laboratory periods, and other scheduled class assignments
is required of every student. Should a student be absent
from class, the student is expected to make arrangements
with the instructor to make up the work missed. Personal
absences (including absence for medical reasons) should
be limited to not more than twice the number of semester
credits for the course in which the student is enrolled.
Students who absent themselves in excess of this limit
may be dismissed from a course, excepting cases of bona
fide prolonged medical problems.
"Official excuses for events sponsored by the College
are handled by the Dean of Students. The Dean of
Students is in charge of student attendance records and
should be consulted in case of prolonged absence due to
medical or personal problems."
In short, studenu should be aware of the fact that medical
excuses from class will no longer be issued by members of the
Infirmary Suff. There will be limited "cuts" for all classes
and students should make sure that these "cuts" do not
exceed twice the number of semester credits for the course
in which a student is enrolled.
Robert J. Tasker
Dean of Students

1. This form must be completed and left at the college
Security Office within seven (7) days of the date a

result in the assessment of the fine.
2. These forms will be picked up twice a month by the
Student Traffic Court judge.
3. The student will be subpoenaed by the Student
Traffic Court to plead his/her case.
4. The student will be advised at Traffic Court as to

seniors, 13 juniors, 23 sophomores, and 51 untested freshmen
will try to give the Aggies their second consecutive winning
season. Last year, the QVC squad posted a S-4 record, the
first winning record in six years, and will be playing an
equally tough schedule this year. In addition to the stiff
competition in the Northern Division of the Middle Atlantic
Conference with teams like defending champions Lycoming,
newly coached Upsala and Juniata, arch rivals Wilkes and
improved squads at Susquehanna and Fairleigh Dickinson-
Madison, the "Aggies" have added former national champs
Widener College. Other non-league opponents include the
"Generals" of Washington and Lee for the season opener and
Moravian College.
The most immediate problem that confronts Coach
Wilson and his staff is replacing 14 lettermen, many of whom
started for two or more years for the Aggies. Offensively,
someont will have to replace Bill Mullen who set two school
records last season with 10 touchdowns and 60 points for the
season. On the offensive line, former tri-captain Chuck
Roesch and 3-year starter Bob Root have to be replaced.
Defensively, the replacement list grows longer. Defensive
ends Bruce Shickora and Jack Mazak, the other captains, will
have to be replaced. Three linebackers - Steve Fornoff, Joe
Leili and John Ledva are gone, along with two starting
defensive backs, Keith Sipple and Gary Scott. Wilson thinks
the replacennent of those players and consistency on the part
of both the offense and the defense are the keys to the 1980
campaign.
The Offense
The offensive line will be anchored by senior co-captain
Gary Walters 6'2" - 225 (Pottsville, Pa.). Aiding three year
letter winner Walters will be senior Mike Bergamo 6'1 " - 205
(Mount Carmel, Pa.) at center and linemen Greg Setta 6'2"-
200 (Upper Dublin, Pa.), Bill Givas 6'3" - 225 (East Bruns-
wick, N.).), Brad Hall 6*1" - 255 (Upper Dublin, Pa.) and
Ernest Meily 5*10" - 230 (Lebanon, Pa.). Four freshmen have
looked good during camp and they should add depth to the
offensive line. They are Tom Anton 6'2" - 245 (Doylestown,
Pa.), Jeff Sneeringer 6'3" - 220 (Hanover, Pa.), Jim Bertuola
6'0" - 220 (Hazleton, Pa.) and Ralph Campbell 6'4" - 245
(Sunbury, Pa.).
Veteran Tom Kenny 6'3" - 180 (Willow Grove, Pa.) will
be the starting quarterback. Tom has started for the past two
seasons, but has been hampered by injuries. Backing up
Kenny at quarterback will be two freshmen, Dan Rupp 6'1 " -
180 (Mount Carmel, Pa.) and Tom O'Neill 5'1 1" ■ 180
(Warminster, Pa.).
In addition to graduation tosses, two key receivers, Dave
Jefferson, a league leading split end and tight end Phil Boob,
have left school. Junior Mark Tankersley 6'2" - 180 (Mount
Holly, N.J.), the runnerup in the Division III National High
Hurdle Competition last year, will start at split end. Senior
Jim Yarujian 5'8" - 165 (Schuylkill Haven, Pa.) and sopho-
more Jeff Robinson 5'8" - 160 (Perkasie, Pa.) will back up
Tankersley. At tight end, junior Mike Petty 6*1" - 200
(Yardley, Pa.) and junior Dan Gallagher 6'4"- 235 (Philadel-
phia, Pa.), who has been moved from offensive tackle, will
share the position.
Four returning lettermen and two freshmen return at run-
ning back. Looking to replace Bill Mullen are seniors Greg
Salicondro 5*11" - 190 (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Tom Houpt
6'0" - 215 (Philadelphia, Pa.). Junior Tom Kirk 5'H" - 190
(Warminster, Pa.), sophomore letter winner Eric Reynolds
5'9" - 195 (Abington, Pa.) and freshmen Ron Barrett 5'1 1 " -
180 (Perkiomenville, Pa.) and Cosmo Lasco 5'9" - 165
(Philadelphia, Pa.) round out the running backs.
A balance between the running and passing game is the
main goal for the offensive unit this season, and competition
for every position should help achieve thai goal.

The Defense
Co-Captain and Outstanding Defensive Lineman Chuck
Alpuche 6'4" - 240 (Wyncote, Pa.) and Warren Robertson
6'1" - 195 (Littlestown, Pa.) are both three year letter win-
ners and the veterans of the defensive line. Junior Dave
Eggleston 6'3" - 230 (Philadelphia, Pa.) and Al Applegate
5'11" - 201 (Wayside, N.J.) fill out the line. Senior Frank
Vellucci 6'1" - 215 (Philadelphia, Pa.), sophomores Ray
Jenkins 6'7" - 235 (Copake Falls, N.Y.) and J.D. Niehls 6'3" -
195 (Barto, Pa.), and freshman Fred Siegfried 6'2" - 230
(York, Pa.) will battle for the defensive end positions.
The linebackers were decimated by the graduation of
Steve Fornoff, Joe LeIli and John Ledva. Junior Kevin Hoke
6'1" - 215 (l»ottsville. Pa.) was injured in camp and Ron
Verra 5*11" • 190 (Schenecudy, N.Y.) are slotted at inside
linebacker. Three freshmen have looked good during camp -
George Wajda 5'11" - 210 (Huntingdon Valley, Pa.), Tim
Boyes 6'0" - 200 (Glenside, Pa.) and Steve Trostle 6'0" - 195
(Red Lion, Pa.). Outside linebacker candidates are led by
senior letter winner Les' Davies 6'1"- 205 (Schuylkill Haven,
Pa.) and senior Mark Dobies 5'11" ■ 170 (Philadelphia, Pa.),
with support from sophomore Mark Bream 6'0" - 183
(Gettysburg, Pa.) and freshman Mark Baker 6'0" - 205
(Greensburg, Pa.).
Two juniors and two sophomores lead the candidates for
the cornerback positions. Junior letter winners Rod Bates
5'9" - 170 (Enola, Pa.) and Jim Duncan 5'11" - 180 (Potts-
ville, Pa.) are supported by sophomores Rich Dougherty
6'0" - 175 (Horsham, Pa.) and John McFadden 6'1" - 180
(Holland, Pa.). The secondary also has a dozen other candi-
dates to add depth to the defense.
Jack Mazak, last year's co-captain and outstanding defen-
sive end has joined Coach Wilson's staff and will be working
with the linebackers.
One replacement that still remains unsolved is a punter to
replace Steve Fornoff. Going into game week, Coach Wilson
is still looking for a capable punter. The other kicking duties
will be carried by sophomore Gary Myers 6'1" - 180
(Perkasie, Pa.), who as a freshman, set the school field goal
record with a 41 -yard kick.
The Schedule
The Aggies will be among the first college teams in the
country to open the 1980 season by traveling to Washington
and Lee University this Saturday in Lexington, Virginia. The
"Generals", under third year coach Gary Fallon, should prove
a real test as they return most of their starters and look to
improve on last year's 3-7 record. The "Aggies" will return to
the familiar James Work Memorial Stadium the following
Saturday (September 13) as they host former national
champs Widener College. Those two non-league contests
should help prepare Delaware Valley College for their league
opener at home against the "Colonials" of Wilkes College on
Saturday, September 20th. The remainder of the schedule
features tough Middle Atlantic Conference opponents and
Division III football at its best.

of the 1980 Yearbook Staff under the direction of Jeff
Singletary.
This year, more than ever, is the time to join the Year-
book Staff. We have now established a reputation and must
keep our yearbooks coming in at this higher quality level and
earlier time.
You can gain Vi credit per semester for using your talents
as an artist, typist, photographer, writer, business organizer,

DEL VAL WEST.'
WHAT IS IT?
by Jerry Robbins
Delaware Valley College West campus is located in New
Britain. Turn right off Route 202 onto Keeley Road; go
across the covered bridge to the top of Old Iron Hill Road
and there, on the left, is the West campus.
Rumors of a potential new housing facility circulated
throughout the campus last year. This year the additional
facility became a reality to some juniors, seniors, and transfer
students who volunteered to try out the newly available
dorms. The College obtained the use of the housing from the
Wordworth Academy. Delaware Valley College West campus
now provides breakfast for the students housed there and
there are plans for serving dinner also. The students must,
however, provide their own transportation from the dorm to
their classes.
The campus consists of two dorms, a three-story structure
with fourteen rooms and a single-story structure with nine
rooms. Together they house 47 students. But do not think
that because they are not on main campus that they are not
supervised. There are three Resident Assistants - Chuck
Alpuche, Ron McCarty and Don McCarthy. There are the
Community Coordinators, Mr. and Mrs. Deacon; and the
Staff Resident, Mr. Caceras, Superintendent of Maintenance,
also on West campus.
The rooms are large and very nice. Along with a closet,
desk, chair, and bed for each occupant, they also each have a
small bureau. The walls are freshly painted (no cinderblock
walls, either) and some are paneled. The rooms are also
carpeted. Four people share a bathroom which is located
either in one of the rooms or between two of the rooms.
The breakfasts served there do not provide as large a selection
of food as on the main campus, but are very similar.
John Mayer, a resident at the West campus, best sums up
life there by saying, "It is like living off campus, but without
all the responsibility of living in a private home or apart-
ment."
DINING OUT WITH MIKE
by Michael J askolka
Avast ye mates, and climb aboard to Richard's for
gracious dining in a nautical atmosphere. I hope you have a
whale of an appetite, and a flair for good seafood, because
Richard's will satisfy both.
From the outside, Richard's is an ordinary-looking
restaurant, but once inside it's like stepping into a fish
market in Gloucester, Mass. The inside of the restaurant is
done in a maritime fashion with a variety offish and other
sailorly decor hanging from the walls.
There was no waiting for a seat, nor were reservations
required. We were greeted at the door and were made to feel
welcome from the start. At no time were we rushed; the
service was prompt; the waitresses were very polite and
always around if you needed something extra.
The menu is complete from appetizers to desserts, and a
wide variety of entrees. The soups are generally less than
$2.00. Appetizers vary from $2.25 to $4.25, including jumbo
shrimp, cherrystone clams on the half shell, mussels marinara,
just to mention a few. Your selection of entrees include a
choice between fried, baked, or boiled dinners. They offer a
wide variety of fresh fish and shellfish, from butterflied
shrimp to Alaskan crab legs. I enjoyed a combination dinner
of flounder, shrimp and crabcake for $5.75. My date was
pleased with the baked flounder which was $4.25. All meals
included a choice of French fries or t)aked potato, a generous
portion of cole slaw, rolls and butter, and salad with a choice
of dressings.
A unique feature with Richard's is you can bring your
own wine or beer to enjoy with your meal. This added
feature keeps your cost down to a minimum. They do offer
some beverages at reasonable prices.
I highly recommend Richard's for anyone who wants to
really enjoy going out to eat good food on a limited college
budget. Richard's, situated on N. Main Street in Doylestown
not far from McDonald's, is open for dinner from 4:00 to
9:00 P.M.
Aaron Building
AARON ARRIVES
The "Aaron Building" is a new name to most people on
campus this year but the building is far from it. The structure,
erected by Mr. and Mrs. Louis I. Aaron of Pittsburgh, Pa., in
1899, is nothing more than the old creamery located across
the road from the home barns. Classes were delayed starting
in this building because of unfinished work but this situation
has since been corrected.
The reason for creating the new classroom in the Aaron
Building is just to facilitate more students. As like many
colleges, classroom space is a concern. The room, with its
refurbished floors, ceiling, walls, and wiring will accommo-
date the Ornamental Horticulture Techniques classes. The
basement along with the wood addition will still be used for
storage as it has been in the past.

THOSE AMAZING REPTILES
by Jerry Robbins
Although a loose turtle, a large loose iguana on a piece of
wood on stage, and a loose African Royal Python are not an
everyday occurrence in Mandell Hall, that was the scene on
Tuesday night, September 9th. The evening opened with
seeing an extremely rare albino soft-shelled tortoise, "Butter-
cup". The audience then saw a Colombian tortoise and an
Iguana which remained uncaged for the remainder of the
presentation. The poisonous Gila monster, the Mexican
Beaded Lizard, the rare American Crocodile and the Ameri-
can Alligator followed. The audience was then treated to
two poisonous snakes of North America, the cooperhead and
the timber rattlesnake. A six-foot Mexican Green Rattlesnake,
South American Boa Constrictor, African Royal Python,
African Rock Python and the very deadly Asian and African
Cape Cobras Along with the visual presentation of each
animal was a short explanation of the animal's needs, care,
and problem, of the wild members of the species. The audi-
ence also saw a tortoise and Iguana eat a banana and Mr.
Shwedick's own style of snake charming with his Cobras.
After th» presentation, some of the audience stayed for a
closer look,. Mr. Shwedick then allowed the students to
handle stime of his reptiles, such as the African Royal
Python, the Boa Constrictor, and the Colombian tortoise.
The> also had a chance to feel the Iguana, the twelve-foot
African Rock Python, the soft-shelled tortoise, and the Gila
monster. When the evening was over, all those interested left
with a better understanding of reptiles.
After such a presentation, one can only wonder how Mr.
Shwedick got involved in such a unique and interesting field.
Mr. Shwedick, a professional reptile handler and renowned
speaker, has always been interested in reptiles, but t)ecause
his parents did not share his enthusiasm, he was unable to
keep his pets at home. Then, in tenth grade, his biology
teacher allowed him to keep his reptile pets in the biology
room. With the money he earned from working at McDon-
ald's he was able to expand his reptile collection by purchas-
ing from zoo suppliers. He did not fit in at school and
became known as the "Reptile Man." He soon had forty
reptiles and the other science teachers became interested in
his hobby and asked him to give ulks about his reptiles in
other classes. He was very rewarded by giving talks; began
giving talks to other groups, and soon assembled a brochure
and charged a fee. Mr. Shwedick has had no formal education
in the field of reptiles but has worked for a time in the Miami
Serpentarium. In the past ten years he has studied reptiles
and traveled worldwide collecting, viewing, and increasing his
knowledge about reptiles.
Michael Shwedick is now director-owner of Reptile
World, Inc., in Maryland. There he houses his collection of
112 reptiles from all over the world. Mr. Shwedick and his
brother both travel over a large part of the country speaking
to schools of all types. The purpose of their programs is to
give the audience a better understanding of the importance
of reptiles.
FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS
Computerized Counseling, is that next?
- Brigham U. computer researchers have developed a new
registration system. Here is how it works. Students merely
pick up a phone and call a specially designed talking, listening
computer, give an identification number, then dictate the
desired courses according to the college catalog number.
When a class is full, the computer will even suggest alter-
natives. Cost - only $7,000, but as of yet it is not out on
the market.
Loud Hours
— Instead of enforcing quiet hours, two dormitories at East
Tennessee State U. have set aside one or two hour periods
where students can make noise without fear of complaints.
R.A.'s say this allows residents to get it out of their systems
and dorm life is reported to be quieter than most others at
non-loud hours.
We've Got It Good
Coed visitation at Niagara U. is a bi-yearly event. That's
right - only twice a year, and that is for several hours during
the afternoon. And you think we have It tough!!
MAIL CALL
We still have assigned mail boxes and combinations to
be picked up by on-campus students.
Will all off-campus students stop by the post office to
verify the listing and location of their mail boxes in the post
office lobby?
SPORTS
LOOKING FOR NUMBER
ONE!
Del Val's Football team will be looking for some relief
Saturday as they open up league play at home against Wilkes.
Two weeks ago the Aggies suffered an energy shortage, falling
to the Generals of Washington and Lee 1 2-8. The Aggies had
a chance to put the game away with 3 minutes left in the
game but ran out of gas on the Generals goal line. Highlights
of the game included the defense holding W&L to minus 2
yards rushing and 142 yards in the air and Warren Robert-
son's recovered blocked punt in the end zone for the team's
only score.
This past Saturday, September 13th, saw the Football
team open its home season in a non-league game against the
Pioneers of Widener University. Twtj years ago the Aggies
battled Widener but came upon the short end 21-18. The
same was to hold true this year, but the battle only lasted
for the first half as the team fell 23-0. Coach Wilson's team
held the 1979 MAC Southern Champion Pioneers to 7
points for the first half. After that the Pioneer defense shut
down the Aggies and our frustrated defense gave way to
Widener's Hal Johnson (two touchdowns) and his teammates.
The team will try to get on the winning side of things
Saturday at 1 :30 p.m. Come on down and cheer on the team
as they look for victory number 1 !
GLASSBORO aEANS UP:
Men are 6th, Ladies 4th, at Lebanon Valley College
by M. McManiman
Glassboro State College easily captured the team cham-
pionship at the Lebanon Valley Invitational this past
Saturday by taking 1st, 3rd, Sth and 10th in the 5-mUe race.
Simply awesome.
Lacking the depth of seasons past our Harriers did quite
well, capturing sixth place in the 18-team competition.
Leading the way for Del Val was last year's sensation,
co-captain )im Parsons, finfshing Sth with a time of 26:17.
The next Harrier to finish for Del Val was freshman Ed Kuri,
40th at 28:16, who was followed by co-captain Chip
Cowher, 44th at 28:27 and Rich Weidman, 49th at 28:40.
DVC rounded out the score by Carl Pellington, 83rd at
31:02.
Come on out tomorrow and cheer on the Harriers as they
open up the season at home against Kings and Wilkes at
2:00 p.m. down on the track - Be There!!

AGGIE HARRIERS ARE
BORN
by Sue Wagner
It was decided by Athletic Director Al Wilson at the end
of last year, that a women's varsity crosscountry team would
be added to the interscholastic sporu that are offered at
DVC. Many of the women who were out for the team last
year have returned greatly improved. They are ready to show
their talents on the challenging 3.1 mile course which runs
through roads, fields and woods. The women run under the
direction of Robert "Doc" Berthold, whose support and
encouragement is greatly appreciated. Even though there are
separate teams between the men and women, practice is
conducted together.
At the meet on Saturday, two of the incoming freshmen,
Brenda Givler and Sue Kulp, came through to help the team
finish fourth overall at the Lebanon Valley Invitational.
Co-captains Jean Cranney and Sue Wagner finished Sth and
9th respectively. Gail Keleher finished 17th with Kathiann
Held close behind in 27th place. Lauren Clawson, Brenda
Givler, Sue Kulp and Jean Toutkoushian finished in succes-
sion which proved to be a vital factor in scoring. For the
girls, the first meet proved to be successful and they are all
looking forward to the upcoming meets.
The women would like to thank Mr. Wilson for giving
them the opportunity to come back for crosscountry camp.
And - Sorry about the fence jumpers!
Newcomers are always welcome. 4:00 p.m. every day in

COACH WILSON
Coach Alvin Wilson is the Athletic Director for Delaware
Valley College. As Athletic Director, he is in charge of all
sports, physical education, and intramurals. Most people
realize he is the head football coach, but few people realize
all that he has done in his five years here.
Coach Wilson cites as the biggest change since he has been
here at DVC the construction of the James Work Memorial
Stadium, on which he was instrumental in getting the con-
struction started. Since the Stadium is a new facility for the
College, it opens up many possibilities for the College as well
as the community.
Prior to the Stadium, the College had no track. The track
team had to hold their meets at Central Bucks West High
School's track. The Stadium now has the first all-weather
metric track in the Middle Atlantic Conference.
Wilson feels an advantage of the Stadium is that it is a
means of drawing attention to the College and a way to
attract more students to both the athletic and scholastic
programs. It is also good public relations with the commu-
nity. There were 4,000 in attendance at the East-West foot-
ball game on Thanksgiving last year, and the Distrkt One
track championship was also held there last year. Another
means of getting the public to the College by way of the
Stadium are the sports camps the College runs in the summer.
Upon Coach Wilson's arrival at DVC, Dr. Work informed
him that a stadium would be built sometime. As a result of
Dr. Work's untimely death the trustees decided to build the
Stadium as a tangible memorial. The Stadium was designed
by the College and constructed by local contractors. The
College has only two things with the title memorial attached
- the library and the Stadium. Coach Wilson feels the Sta-
dium is a fitting memorial since it functions well as a small
college facility in serving the needs of the student.
Coach Wilson has also been responsible for the increase in
women's sports. Last year volleyball and Softball were added,
and this year crosscountry was added. According to Wilson,
once an interest has been shown it is relatively easy to get
something new started since the administration is very
receptive to the needs of the student. A main reason cross-
country for women was started is the girls working with Doc
Berthold last year.
Wilson feels that no school can maintain a status quo and
must improve to meet the changing times. He would like the
students to come together to support the activities here on
campus - whether a flower show, judging event, or athletics.
There is a uniqueness here that the students do not always
recognize.

DVC ENTERTAINMENT
by Warren D. Lewis
Students couldn't wait for Heaven Can Wait to begin.
Mandell lecture hall was booked to full capacity as Warren
Beatty and Julie Christie performed their talents to the max,
making the movie a hit» For those who missed it, the story
was about L.A. Rams Q.B. Joe Pendelton (Warren Beatty)
being killed in an auto accident and taken up to heaven by a
new angel (Buch Henry) before the outcome of the accident
was known. In actuality, Pendelton would have survived the
accident but once in heaven he could not be returned to
earth as the man he was. The head angel (Jason Roberts)
substitutes Joe Pendelton for a millionaire who was murdered
by his best friend and his wife who were after his wealth.
This is where Warren Beatty (as the millionaire) meets Julie
Christie and the story evolves from there.
In the end, Julie and Warren (who had his identity
changed back to another Ram Q.B. who was fatally injured
during a football game) leave Ram Stadium as curious friends
at the conclusion of the game.
It is recommended by this writer that if you can, go to see
the movie either at the movie theatre or on Home Box
Office. It's worth seeing over and over. Keep your eyes
open for upcoming DVC movies. I hope to see you there.

Larry Ziff
DVC'S OWN TOMATO MAN
by Jeanrje Cranney
Larry Ziff, a freshman horticulture major, made his claim
to fame at an early age. At the age of 10, Larry started plant-
ing a vegetable garden each summer and by the time he was
14, it was obvious that his gardens were far from ordinary.
At his home in Washington Township, N.J., Larry grows
tomato plants which are taller than any other tomato plants
in the world. Larry attributes his success at gardening to his
grandfather, who offers him advice on gardening, and also to
a special fertilizer made of manure and dried cow blood. It
was in 1977 that Larry first experienced his abnormally tall
tomato plants. During that summer, Larry grew tomato
plants that reached 12 feet tall. Over the next 3 summers,
Larry's plants grew taller and taller. The largest plant that
Larry has ever grown towered to a height of 21 feet 8 inches;
a world record by VA inches.
Over the past three years, Larry has become a local
celebrity. The papers have charted his success with pictures
and stories of Larry's life and gardening experience. As a
result, Larry has quite a scrapbook of articles and pictures as
well as a letter from Grace's Gardens which is a screening
agency that refers people to the Guinness Book of Records
and Ripley's Believe It or Not. Many of these articles decorate
Larry's closet door in the dorm.
Continuing in the spotlight of public events, Larry is Del
Val's mascot Ram for the football games. His friends in
Wolfson Hall are to be credited for this latest venture. Larry
became interested in becoming the Ram when he and his
friends went to Club Night in rather good "spirits", and they
all signed up to try out as cheerleaders. The cheerleaders con-
vinced Larry that being the Ram would better suit him.
Saturday's football game was enhanced by Larry as he
cheered the Aggies on to a victory over Wilkes College.
Growing tomatoes is a hobby for Larry as are boating and
fishing. Larry would like to get a job at Burpee farms in the
near future and continue to grow his gigantic tomato plants.
As for his long-range plans, Larry talks of becoming a dentist
like his father.

THE PICNIC TABLES HAVE FLIES - AGAIN
ARRIVED!
by Jerry Robblns
by Martha Gehringer
A recent addition to the DVC campus, in case you're
blind or haven't run into them yet, are six new picnic tables.
No longer do the commuters, or anyone else, have to sprawl
on the ground in order to work, eat, or relax outside. Now
you can do all this in the comfort of the picnic tables.
Student government purchased and paid for these tables
with profits made fr6m last year's concerts, Beatle Magic and
Harry Chapin. The ubies cost $1 25.00 apiece and with ship-
ping and handling, came to about $800.00 for all the tables.
Government felt they wanted to do something for the com-
muters, and it was decided they needed a place to lounge in
front of Segal Hall. The picnic tables were the answer. They
were ordered last year, but unfortunately didn't arrive until
the second week in September. But they are here now, for
the entire campus to enjoy.

COMMUTER CORNER :
Segal Hall — Your Home
Away from Home
by Jeanne Cranney
This week's biggest news is the arrival of the picnic tables
which have been placed outside of Segal Hall. I'm happy to
see that many of you are taking advantage of them. Please
remember, also, to take advantage of the trash cans which
have been strategically placed for your benefit
I would like to let the freshmen know that Segal Hall is
designed to be a cafeteria and student center for commuters
as well as on-campus students. The snack bar is open during
certain hours of the day and evening for lunch, dinner and
between meal snacks. The main floor is also equipped with
vending mac'iines for times when the snack bar is closed. A
dollar bill changer can also be found in Segal Hall. This
becomes the gripe of both on-campus and off-campus
students alike each year when the machine runs out of
change. Many of the students, myself included, would like to
see the policy of having to make a purchase at the snack bar
in order to receive change changed. Let's hear what you
think about this, students!
The second floor of Segal Hall houses a pool hall as well
as our radio station, WAPO. The used book exchange can also
be'found on this floor when it is in operation. The basement
floor of Segal is equipped with tables and chairs and is
usually quieter than the main floor. Also in the basement of
Segal is a television set so you can all catch your favorite
cartoon, soap opera or news program.
In closing, I would like to say - Wake Up Commuters!
This is also your newspaper and your contributions are
always welcome. This column is designed to air your griefs as
well as display your wares. So let our staff hear from you
soon.
As everyone has noticed,
the return of the students
has signalled the return of
the flies - again. These
unwanted residents of the
dorms, classrooms, and
other campus buildings are
very difficult to tolerate.
Because of this, fiyswat-
ters, fly ribbons and other
paraphernalia adorn some
rooms in an attempt to
rid the human residents of
the pesky inhabitors.
With the warm days, however, about the only thing to do
to avoid getting flies in the room is to keep the screens on
the windows tightly closed.
THE FLY
hideous little bat, the size of snot.
With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,
To populate the stinking cat you walk
The promontory of the dead man's nose.
Climb with the fine leg of a Duncan-Phyfe
The smoking mountains of my food
And in a comic mood
In mid-air take to bed a wife.
Riding and riding with your filth of hair
On gluey foot or wing, forever coy.
Hot from the compost and green sweet decay.
Sounding your buzzer like an urchin toy —
You dot all whiteness with diminutive stool.
In the tight belly of the dead
Burrow with hungry head
And inlay maggots Mice a jewel.
At your approach the great horse stomps and paws
Bringing the hurricane of his heavy tail;
Shod in disease you dare to kiss my hand
Which sweeps against you like an angry flail;
Still you return, return, trusting your wing
To draw you from the hunter's reach
That learns to kill to teach
Disorder to the tinier thing.
My peace is your disaster. For your death
Children like spiders cup their pretty hands
And wives resort to chemistry of war.
In fens of sticky paper and quicksands
You glue yourself to death. Where you are stuck
You struggle hideously and beg
You amputate your leg
Imbedded in the amber muck.
But I, a man, must swat you with my hate.
Slap you across the air and crush your flight.
Must mangle with my shoe and smear your blood.
Expose your little guts pasty and white,
Knock your head sidewise like a drunkard's hat,
Pin your wings under like a crow's.
Tear off your flimsy clothes
And beat you as one beats a rat.
Then like Gargantua I stride among
The corpses strewn like raisins in the dust,
The broken bodies of the narrow dead
That catch the throat with fingers of disgust
1 sweep. One gyrates like a top and falls
And stunned, stone blind, and deaf
Buzzes its frightful F
And dies between three cannibals.
- Karl Jay Shapiro

OUT FROM UNDER
THE EDITORS' DESK:
Dear Editors:
I obtained a copy of the second newspaper printed for
this year. Unfortunately, I found a very disappointing article
entitled "Freshman Corner", an article written by two of the
editors. I found is I read the paper the articles became more
and more hypocritical. After reading the article "Newspaper
Genesis" the staff asked for participation from the student
body to work together and make a great newspaper.
How are we, "the student body", going to work together
if articles are going to be written to insult and separate the
"student bo^s "? If was very obvious that subs were made
tQward the student body. I spent many hours of my time to
write an article for a paper that defeated my purpose.
A very good article entitled "In Focus" was written to
praise Mr. Wilson, but on the reverse side there were insults
made toward the football team. Mr. Wilson, a man who has
many obligations, seems to find time for "AH" sports. He
extends his capacity to add new ones to our curriculum and
is out for all the students. A new name is being sought for the
paper, but maybe there shouldn't be a NEW paper if it is
going to be used in this manner. Students wonder why there
are "cliques" at the college. Maybe it's because we are
"prejudging" and "labeling" people before they have a
chance to show their personalities and talents. Is this a good
example for the freshman? A way to welcome them to our
school?
If the article vvas written purely as an interest story or for
laughs, I think we have a serious problem on our hands. Too
many people were hurt and degraded by a simple eight-
question article. Come on, guys, let's "get together" and
make the most of our college years!
Sincerely,
Sue Wagner
Editor's f7ote:
The intention of the newspaper is to present and express
every aspect and angie possibie. The article "Freshman
Corner" was not intended to divide, nor was it meant to
"stab" any particular segment of the student body. The
eight questions did not have a set answer; therefore, it was
ieft to the reader to make his own choice, which wili vary
with each individual.
Note: A sign of good leadership is to be able to accept
praise as well as criticism.

AGGIES COURTMARTIAL
COLONELS
by Melvin Balliet
The Aggies won their first conference game by beating
the Wilkes Colonels for the first time since 1973. The 30-8
victory was highlighted by the running of Eric Reynolds and
a good defensive attack.
The Aggies drew first blood just 44 seconds into the
second quarter, when Del Val quarterback Tom Kenny hit his
tightend Mike Petty for a touchdown. The point after
attempt by Kevin Hoke was good and the Aggies jumped on
top 7-0.
Del Val's next points came when )im Duncan blocked a
Tony Pottle punt which rolled out of the end zone for a
safety, giving the Aggies a 9-0 halftime lead.
With 2:47 remaining in the third quarter, Mark Dobies
recovered a fumbled punt on the Wilkes 36-yard line, and
nine plays later Eric Reynolds went in from one yard out for
the touchdown. The point after was good and the Aggies
were up 16-0.
Wilkes made it a close game, with 11:06 remaining, when
Carmen LoPresto dived in from the one. Quarterback George
Hall passed to Gerry O'Hara for the two-point conversion,
making the score Aggies 16, Colonels 8.
To the liking of Del Val fans, this close game was very
short-lived. Eric Reynolds, on the first play from scrimmage,
broke off left tackle and raced 68 yards for his second touch-
down of the afternoon. Once again Hoke's kick was good and
the Aggies were up 23-8.
Mark Dobies closed out the scoring for the Aggies with
3:36 remaining. Dobies intercepted a Ray Boudreau pass and
ran 39 yards for a touchdown. Gary Myers kicked the point
after, giving the Aggies a 30-8 victory.
In all, it was a great day for the Aggies, as the defense
recovered four Colonel fumbles, intercepted three passes, and
blocked two punts. The offensive attack was spearheaded by
Eric Reynolds who tallied 139 yards on 23 carries and two
touchdowns. It was also a good day for Aggie quarterback
Tom Kenny as he went 6 for 1 6 in the air for 62 yards and a
touchdown.
Tomorrow at 1:30 the Aggies will be kicking off at
Moravian College, and then will return for Parents' Day to
host Fairleigh Dickinson University next Saturday.

HARRIERS 2-0. OR 1-1
by Mike McManiman
A tie between Del Val and Kings College caused contro-
versy this past Saturday as no one was quite sure of the new
NCAA rules. Normally, the first five men score for each team,
under the rules for an invitational meet only the top four
men score. If this is the case, our Harriers lose 19-17;
however, if it goes down to the sixth man, we win 38-51.
Now, if someone finds a rule book before deadline, it will be
noted at this column's end. If no rule book is found, we will
assume that the tie holds up. Anyway . . .
Our Harriers handedly defeated Wilkes 21-38 as did Kings
21-34, a bad day for the Colonel as their football team fell to
the Aggies 30-8. Francis Awanya, a Ugandan exchange
student from Kings, won the 5.25 race in 28:34 ahead of
DVC's co-captain )im Parsons (29:18). Our other top men
were co-captain Chip Cowher, 5th at 30-21, freshman Ed
Kuri, 7th at 30:27; Junior Rich Weidman, 9th at 31 :05; and
sophomore Rich Weaver, 11th at 31:31. Freshman John
Lucas, 13th at 32:10 and senior Carl Pellington, 15th at
32:27 also had good performances for the Aggies.
Although there was no team competition for our lady
Harriers, they did run against two women from Kings as well
as the clock. Co-captain Jeanne Cranney set the course
record for the 3.5-mile course in 22:41. Co-captain Sue
Wagner and Gail Keleher were next to cross the finish line at
23:24 and 23:46, respectively. Kathianne Held was fifth
overall with a time of 25:17, then Jean Toutkoushian and
Brenda Gilver finished seventh and eighth at 26:30 and
26:56. Hopefully somewhere along the way the ladies will
have some competition before MAC's.
NOTE: The next home meet will be October 18th against
Kutztown.
WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL
TEAM STARTS FLEXING
ITS MUSCLES
by Warren D. Lewis
On Tuesday, September I6th, the "Aggie-ettes" took on
a tough and determined Moravian women's volleyball team.
The first game was decisively won by Moravian 15-0. As the
first game came to a close, the strategy was already being
formed for the Aggies. The second game took on an entirely
different tune with our Aggies winning 15-11. The third game
was a squeaker with Moravian pulling it out in overtime,
17-15. The fourth game our women could not quite pull it
out, losing a well fought game 1 5-1 0.
Despite the loss, there were many encouraging signs that
the women's volleyball team of Del Val is "growing" with
improvement. Holly Funk, Wanda Perusini, Gail Garthwaite
and Patti Rissinger made several outstanding plays through-
out the match.
On Thursday, September 18th, the women's volleyball
team took on another difficult team, this time from Messiah
College. The Messiah team came out with special stances and
high-jumping slammers to give the Aggies a stiff challenge.
The Aggies won the first game in good fashion. The Messiah
defense and offense was then altered, handing down defeats
in the second and third games. The Aggie offense and defense
stiffened. The fourth game was a struggle for both teams with
the lead switching hands several times. At the end, the Aggies
prevailed sending the match to the fifth and final game. The
Aggies came out with pinpoint serving by Holly Funk to put
the "Aggie-ettes" on top. However, Messiah was not through.
Despite the crowd's intent cheering for the Aggies, our girls
could not quite muster up any fancy plays to put down the
last minute surge by the Messiah team.
Despite the loss, the women's volleyball team is shaping
up very nicely. As the season progresses, each member of the
team will become an even more valuable asset to the team's
overall performance and team ability to put down all other
challengers.
The support that showed up to cheer on the Aggies was
FAN-TASTIC. Your applauds and cheers will also help inspire
our volleyball team (and all other Aggie teams) to help push
them over the brink into winning and highly motivated
teams. We hope to see some new supporters coming out to
help our regulars cheer on the Aggies to VICTORY.

If you're in the mood for a restaurant with old-fashioned,
hospitality, and good cooking, then Boswell's is your kind of
restaurant. Boswell's has a family atmosphere, with a touch
of early American decor.
It would be advisable to make reservations prior to going
to Boswell's, because it's a very popular restaurant; especially
at lunch time.
Boswell's would be a nice restaurant to take your parents
for lunch or dinner on Parents' Day, or more likely where
they can take you. They serve a vast selection of dinners to
satisfy everyone's appetite.
The menu has something to fit everyone's taste buds
from Roast Turkey to New England Fried Clams. There is a
fair selection of appetizers at reasonable prices. Included with
each of the lunch and dinner platters is a tossed salad with a
choice of dressing, two vegetables (more choices of vegetable
than I ever had at any one restaurant before), two types of
bread (served with butter and apple butter), and a beverage
of your choice.
I enjoyed the Veal Parmigiana ($6.95), with a homemade
tomato sauce. My date chose the Whole Boneless Brook
Trout ($7.95) from the seafood selection, and she thoroughly
enjoyed it. The dinner platter prices vary from $6.95 to
$10.95, and the lunch platters are $3.25 to $6.50. For lunch
they also serve a large selection of sandwiches.

Dave Reeder '83 and Jim Trainer '82 are key student
personnel in Elson Hall. They have the responsibility of
coordinating the 48 freshmen men who live there.
Dave Reeder is from Allentown, NJ. He had an interest in
landscaping and was referred to Delaware Valley College by
his high school counselor. He was very active in F.F.A. during
high school; he traveled twice with the organization to the
Nationals, where they placed 4th and 10th.
Dave is presently an O.H. major. His anticipated career is
a landscape nurseryman. He is currently self-employed and
also works for the Cream Ridge Nursery in Allentown, NJ.
This is Dave's first year as a Resident Assistant. He is also a
member of the Resident Assistant Executive Committee.
Dave is very enthusiastic and looks forward to being involved
with Elson Hall residents. Dave is a member of the O.H. Club
and the DVC Soil Judging Team. He is also employed by our
dining service, M.W. Wood, as a dishwasher. When volleyball
season rolls around, Dave is an active participant on the
intramural team.
Jim Trainer is returning to Elson Hall to begin his second
year as a Resident Assistant. Jim (along with Craig Edgerton,
a previous RA) has been responsible for making Elson Hall a
better place to live. This is the second year that Elson has
been reserved for freshman men. Jim is very energetic and
thoroughly enjoys being involved with the freshmen. He was
on the RA Executive Committee last year and was co-chair-
person last year for the annual Superstars competition.
Jim's family now lives in Glenside, PA but he takes pride
in saying that his home town will always be Jenkintown, PA.
Despite his involvement at DVC, Jim says that he did not
have any interest in high school activities except running and
wrestling. Jim was interested in DVC because of its small
size; he thought he would t>e more able to combine academ-
ics, athletics and activities. Well, Jim has succeeded and has
become a very well rounded and involved individual.
Jim is a Food Industry major. Although he would love to
be a politician, he expects his career to be Marketing or Sales
in Food Industry.
His political career has begun at DVC. He was the Fresh-
man and Sophomore class president and he is now the
President of Student Government. He is on the Varsity cross
country team and was a wrestler his freshman year. His
hobbies include sports, music and beer can collecting. Jim has
recently become a Big Brother in the Bucks County chapter.
Good luck, fellas. We hope you have a successful year!
